It's no secret that people have a lot of strong feelings when it comes to the topic of education. This includes Juelz Santana, who shared his thoughts on the matter during a recent appearance on the No Funny Sh*t podcast. According to him, financial literacy should be made a bigger priority than it is now. He even thinks it should take precedence over reading.
"By the time they get to ninth grade they should be learning how to start businesses," he explained. "But they don't really need to learn how to read." When asked to choose between math and reading, he doubled down. "Math," he declared.
"You could listen to a book on YouTube. You can still obtain the information. You don't have to know how to read," he added. "I believe common sense is better than everything."
Santana proceeded to call himself a "common sense n***a," and to claim "that he'd rather have zero book smarts" than lack street smarts.
"I try to understand people. Like nowadays, you can listen to a book," he continued, also revealing that Robert Greene's The 48 Laws of Power was the last thing he read. Co-host Kenny "KP" Supreme then argued that reading is essential for understanding contracts, prompting Santana to push back once again.
"Reading is just when people want to embarrass you and try to play you ... or, 'You can't read your contract.' Anybody who said you can't read your contract, they didn't read their contract," he insisted. "They had a lawyer read their contract. They just saying it to be funny."…

A Timeline of Juelz Santana's Legal Trouble Since His March Arrest
The rapper is putting his worries in God's hands.
I get what he's trying to say but you do need to know how to read even if it's at a 7th grade level.
Common sense carrys a lot of people in life,shit it's something I've used since I was a child,along with learning human nature and doing the thinking for others without them even knowing.
Entertainers entertain and that's what he does,nothing more or less.
You need to be able to read way ahead of a 7th grade level.
Majority of adults in this country are less than a 8th grade level.
To pass college SAT exams, you need to be reading near a 12th grade level, that’s why it’s so difficult for young Blacks to pass the entrance exams.
Civil Service exams are at high school, undergraduate levels. The same with getting a driver license or firearm license.
And if want to run a business, you gotta be able to read in order to properly fill out forms related to the business if you don’t wanna get screwed.
And look how many professional athletes became broke cuz they couldn’t read at the proper level and their agents/lawyers and business partners robbed them blind.
And don’t forget, it was illegal for Black slaves to read or be taught to read.
For him to say you don’t need to be able to read is like saying you don’t need to vote….and look what we got in the White House cuz of that logic.
