I wouldn’t say my rap career is over. But I wouldn’t go so far as to say that if I’m a full-time attorney, I’ll have time to keep doing it. Rap is very unstable. It’s kind of eat-what-you-kill. I was looking for more stability — a way I could have more peace of mind and contribute in the ways I want to.

— Roosh Williams, successful Houston-based rapper and newly minted 1L at USC Gould School of Law, explaining that while he may not have hung up his microphone for good, he left his recording career behind in search of stability — and he’s betting a J.D is the way to do that. And for the record, yes, his personal statement was very much about his rap career.
