Listen to rap music can not only ?teach you how to dougie?, but it can be a good source for sound business advice. Just ask prominent venture capital investor Ben Horowitz.

?Rap holds a trove of lessons for tech entrepreneurs. Throw business classes and books out the window?, Mr. Horowitz says, and listen to rap lyrics instead.

Mr. Horowitz uses rap as an introduction as he philosophizes about business challenges like how to fire executives, why founders run their companies better than outside chief executives and how to stand up to difficult board members.

?All the management books are like, ?This is how you set objectives, this is how you set up an org chart,? but that?s all the easy part of management,? Mr. Horowitz said in an interview in his spacious office here on Sand Hill Road, the epicenter of tech investing.

?The hard part is how you feel. Rap helps me connect emotionally.?
