Rapper loves math

Lloyd Banks

From MTV.com:

“Lloyd Banks often hits fans with an assortment of witty one-liners and clever punch lines. But the G-Unit rapper took to his alma mater, August Martin High School in Jamaica, New York, last week, with a much more straightforward message: Get your education. Banks donated $10,000 to the school library and offered words of encouragement to an auditorium full of students:

‘I wanted to be a writer. I loved English. [...] I wanted to know how to count my money, so I love math. You got to take what you want out of [school] and it will definitely put you in the right direction.’

Amen to that.
