  1. When I started working here, I was told that I would love it here. Knowing that Hip-hop (the Rappin’ aspect of it)is alive on this campus gives me a sense of belonging or connecting. It needs to be told that when Rakim, BDP, Kool G Rap and Polo, Public Enemy dropped essential lyrics that put you in a daze, it had you thinking critically. It gave me options that helped me made better choices for my life while living in that life. a life wherre my name went from Tony to “icey Lord”, Popeye, and now as an adult “Bost’n Pops”. God Bless Hiphop and America

  2. Guillermo is one of the best things about Boston University. He embodies the spirit of optimism with the skill set of an entrepreneur. So proud of you dude for all your accomplishments. It’s an honor to call you a friend.

  3. Guillermo is incredible what little steps has done in your quest for embracing the Hip-Hop culture at your school. You have set the foot steps for others to follow. Just remember these moments in your life, they will live with you forever. I am very proud of you son, I love you.

  4. My 4 year old brother can rap better than this.. I’m mad these kids call themselves rappers with these Sesame Street rhymes garbage.. Never been less proud to BU

    1. WHAT U MAD FOR? THESE “KIDS” IS DOIN WHAT THEY GOTTA DO. THEY ARE IN BU TRYING TO BECOME SOMEBODY. AND BEFORE YOU THROW A 4 YEAR OLD INVOLVED YOU NEED TO SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE ON THE EXAMPLE YOUR SETTING FOR HIM BY RESPONDING THESE TYPES OF POSTS. IM 26 WITH 10 YEARS INCARCERATED. I GREW UP IN THAT GANG LIFE. AM I THE ONLY ONE TO APPRECIATE WHAT THEY GOT GOING? IF I COULD REWIND TIME AND DO IT ALL OVER I WOULD BE RIGHT THERE WITH THEM SINGIN THESE SESAME STREET RYMES.

  5. I just had the time to finally read this, but these guys are some of the most genuine and positive people I have ever encountered. Glad to call you friends of mine and couldn’t be more proud! :)

  7. A SHOUT OUT TO THIS CREW. don’t LISTEN TO NOBODY THAT TALKS CRAP LIKE HALF THESE GUYS. ONE OF THEM SAYS THEY CAN BEAT YOU IN A RAP BATTLE, N THEY CANT EVEN POST THERE REAL NAME?!!! THATS TO SHOW YOU GOT MORE GUTS THAN WANNABE JESUS CHRIST WHO PROBBLY STILL LIVES WIT HIS MOM AND POSTED THAT COMMENT ON HIS MOMS COMPUTER. BUT IF YOU GUYS ARE INTERESTED I WOULD BE PRETTY HONERED IF I COULD SIT IN WIT YALL, TEACH EACH OTHER A LITTLE SOMETHING. I THINK WE CAN ALL LEARN FROM EACH OTHER. CAN I KICK IT? LOL. -JOE SINGLETON AKA CHAOS.

  8. I am an older cat and I’ve been HIP HOP since 1982, and what I see these young cats doing, reminds me of my era. I was never one to battle, but I really liked to free-style. Hip Hop is more than just music; it is an American culture that has ingrained in diverse ethic groups from New York to Qatar. Unfortunately, like the poster Joseph Singleton, I just finished nine years of incarceration–and it was at MCI Norfolk where I found BUs Prison Education Program–so I want the members know that I appreciate what their doing.
