A young Busta Rhymes got the call from John Singleton to star alongside established actors like Omar Epps, Michael Rapaport, Regina King, and Laurence Fishburne. The movie Higher Learning broke him into the Hollywood culture and he was ushered in with even more talent like Tyra Banks, Morris Chestnut, and fellow rapper Ice Cube. Busta might have never went to college, but as a part of this distinguished class — he definitely went to school.

Ironically, the context of the film could easily have taken place in 2021, as it looked at Columbia University and its issues with racial tensions, rape, and other issues that young people (especially students of color) experience as they go off to …. higher learning.
