Looking at Water Is Rapper Common
That's a inspiring vote of confidence for Chicago and its cultural life, isn't it? LOL

Common does the same.
Nope. Kanye West sold his LA home and lives in NYC. His Chicago apartment is for sale with no takers because Chicago has a lousy housing market. Especially in the high end. Not enough wealth in that town to support a healthy high end market. Kanye West lives in NYC, period. And he spends a few months in Paris prior to the Paris Fashion Week now that he's a designer. We work in the same field, I would know. I have met him several times.

No it doesnt't. It just counts them creatively.

Why don't you ask Obama why did he chose Ivy League Columbia and then Harvard over any Chicago school? LOL

What are you talking about? He is FROM Chicago. Even though as soon as he made a name for himself he ditched it for greener pastures
That's a vote of confidence for Chicago LOL
That;s a real life poll. The list of former Chicagoans calling New York their home is too long to list. Chicago does not have the cultural scene and no achieved performers ever want to stay there. LOL

Cause Chicago had a huge black population and this political scene needed a new face.
I believe he lives in DC now, doesn't he? LOL

Again, if Chicago schools are so good, why didn't Obama go to any of them? What did he know that you guys don't? LOL

I don't. I know where people who want to make something of their lives go to. That's the best ranking. That's real life ranking.
