NO-Class Nelly strikes again with P.I.M.P Scholarships Next we will have Ho scholarships. This guy has no class.
----- NELLY PAYS OFF PIMPS: Rapper’s Pimp Juice scholars awarded $5,000. E-mail to a friend | Printer friendly (April 8, 2005) *Nelly is giving away money to two pimps. The rap star announced the two winners of his P.I.M.P. Scholarships. Teamed with the Fillmore Street Brewery, which manufactures Pimp Juice, Nelly set up the Positive. Intellectual. Motivated. Person. Scholar Program in 2004 to aid students who deserve recognition for the academics and extracurricular activities. The scholarship of $5,000 was awarded to Bryan Hughes of Howard University and Joyce Jackson of St. Louis University. In addition to the money, the two stellar students get the chance to hang with Nelly backstage at one of his upcoming concerts. Hughes and Jackson were the big winners from 10 contest finalists from all over the country. All 10 of the finalists were awarded PIMP Juice promotional packs and two tickets to a Nelly concert. Next up for Nelly and the beverage co is PJ Tight, low carb version of Pimp Juice. | |

No matter what postive acronyms Nelly creates with P I M P, the name is still disgraceful.
Cuz it's more than a name. It's a concept, a hip hop concept that has worn out it's welcome: the idea that things from a criminal lifestyle can be dressed up and appropriated for the good of all. Please. | |

Please. thank you. this is exactly it--the idea of handin out scholarships is a great idea, sure...but why pin such an acronym/concept behind it? that's unnecessary and takes away from the whole purpose of the thing. | |

i don't agree with it but its only a name Sorry, the P.I.M.P. scholarship is a contradiction in terms - talk about your mixed messages. Sure, you'd take the money, but imagine how embarrassed you'd be to actually win one of these. There's a time for stupid bullshit and there's a time for taking things seriously and unfortunately Nelly doesn't understand how naming a scholarship "P.I.M.P." completely debases the student's efforts that earned it in the first place. | |

like i said before, these rappers are so stupid and don't think about the dire consequences their actions have on ppl. the "P.I.M.P" scholarships???? that is so ridiculous "Americans consume the most fast food than any nation on Earth and the stupid motherfuckers wonder why they are so fat?

I agree with what you're saying completely, but I would guess that if you're not embarrassed to actually apply for a scholarship with that name, you're not going to be embarrassed to win the scholarship. And I'm sure he means well enough, but $5,000? All the bank he's got and he can't pony up more? At that amount it seems like more of an afterthought, especially given that at least a portion of the funds come from the sale of Pimp Juice. Next up for Nelly and the beverage co is PJ Tight, low carb version of Pimp Juice.

I'm torn. On one hand I wanna smack him upside the head for continuing to push the worn out stereotype even if it's only in name. I mean WHY change the meaning of THAT word? It'll always be muddy... won't it? | |
