...want to stress that this is not poetry. Assemble a crew of faceless rappers, choruses of “You know what it is, ho(16x),” three strokes on a keyboard and you’ve got a club hit. Repeat it 12 times, and you’ve got a follow-up album for one of Atlanta’s worst-spelling crews...

And many of them are saying they’re not willing to just pack up and go somewhere else at Harvard’s bidding...
