Ridin' Dirty with Chamillionaire
I just saw Chamillionaire and Quincy Jones III talk about entrepreneurship at Stanford!
Chamillionaire is most famous for his single Ridin’ Dirty and the Weird Al parody that followed it. Unfortunately, he didn’t rap for us — instead, he gave us a bit of hustlin advice. Ahhhh YEEEAH…
My favorite part of the event was when Stanford president John Hennessey asked the audience “How can we change the world?” and someone in the audience yelled “By ridin’ dirty!” Anonymity for the win.

Quotes from Chamillionaire and Quincy Jones III
Here are some quotes I found amusing from the event:
“All the other rappers called me a nerd for using the Internet.” — Chamillionaire (on promoting his music online)
“I hope that someone in this room wins the Entrepreneurship Innovation Contest …so then I can steal their idea.” — Chamillionaire (when asked to give some motivational advice to the students)
“My job was a lot easier before I was a boss.” — Chamillionaire (on becoming a manager at Chamillitary Entertainment)
“Why would I want to sell something with my face? I wouldn’t even wear something with my face” — Chamillionaire (on selling merchandise)
“It’s crazy… I’m in the business of making money. But not every dollar is a good one – sometimes it’s about values & authenticity” — Chamillionaire
“eHustling is available to everybody” — Quincy Jones III (on the power of YouTube as a way to go directly to customers)
