Is a celebrity trade school a legitimate gateway to the music industry, or is it just the ultimate corporate cash grab? Soulja Boy has officially announced "Rapper University," claiming to act as both a dean and a professor to teach marketing, branding, and hustle. But can virality actually be taught, or is this platform just selling false dreams to green creators who haven't even started yet?
Reflecting on a recent segment from New Old Heads episode 490, I analyze this trailer through my lens as an active music production educator.
