Yung Berg Teaching High School

Yung Berg will be a guest-teacher today (March 28) for students at Felix Varela Senior High School in Miami, Florida. The Chicago native will be handling a class on democracy to help promote MTV's Rock the Vote.

Berg becomes the latest in a long line of rappers that have helped raise awareness with Rock the Vote, including--most famously--Diddy back in 2004.

Berg has been involved in several high-profile altercations with hip hop artists and other antagonists in the past, but the rapper has recently returned with a more mature outlook and it is reflected in several of his latest projects, including this Rock the Vote appearance and his upcoming video series, The Road to Humble Greatness.

Yung Berg Done Flashing

Rapper Yung Berg has been involved in numerous jewelry-related incidents over the course of his young career. But the Chicago native has decided to change his image in the hopes of bypassing any future chain-snatching. Berg says he's done with big jewelry. The rapper recently told VIBE he was ready to let go of hip hop's most gaudy fashion statement.

"On some real sh*t, back in the day when I was buying those big a** chains and sh*t, I felt like that was a part of me being Yung Berg," he admits. "But me growing up and being Christian, being Mr. Ward, and who I really I am, I toned down. I'm not going to be with the big gaudy chains because people would look and they would say 'Well, this n*gga still ain't learn his lesson.' I learned my lesson. I'm going to have jewelry but it's going to be more upscale and common. It's not going to be catching just the nigga eye."
