Speaking of living in a small school dorm when he could have all the luxurious apartments in the world Swizz says.."It was amazing to go from my crib to a dorm room,My room is so small, I can’t even have a roommate.
It’s just a humbling experience because that same small room could’ve been my jail cell. Coming from where I came from and the things I’ve been apart of it’s like, man I’m in this small room, but I’m here to educate myself and hopefully educate other people. It’s never too late because a lot of people say ‘Man, why are you going back? You got all this money.’ I’m like, ‘Money doesn’t make you smart!’
More when you continue..
I could’ve definitely lived off campus but I wanted to be apart of the experience. It’s Harvard. I just really wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing no pieces. I didn’t want to come off as the big celebrity; this, that and the third because I’m a small guy in my class by the way. There’s people in my class that businesses do a billion dollars a year. To be around all these people; they’re staying in dorms too. Just because I have celebrity status I didn’t want to separate myself and be some type of way.
They didn’t even know I was Swizz Beatz. My tag says Kasseem Dean. This is the hardest class to get into in Harvard. You have to be successful already. So when you send your resume in they have to cross check it with financials and all the different things you’ve done in the business world. Then people on your staff have to fill out information.
So Inspiring...
