    GZA gets it. We stomp on the childrens creativity, and put literacy in place of it. What we need to is combine the two. Embrace the creativity, and use it to set forth a pace for their literacy.

    This is an amazing program. It's such a fantastic way for kids to learn.

    This is why Wu is still one of my fav hip hop groups still. No other group has been as prolific as them and the success of members having tremendous careers as solo artists. Gza, you are one of the nicest MC's to ever pic up a mic. Wu Tang is for the babies!!!

    Yes! This is what we need! To promote science means the result is going to be not only a scientific literate community, but comprehensive, responsible, independent, critical/free thinkers who will take humanity to the next level. Out with the illiterate conservatives running our governments who are interested in military budgets and making sure churches stay exempt.
    We NEED people who are aware of their fundamental connection with the Universe and appreciate life. I am so damn happy! Aaah! :D

    real talk...some of those bars are better than anything Cole and Kendrick have said thus far. U know this to be true. "mother nature said anyone can get it" HARD! The first cat and the lady spit some cool stuff. I want rap to get intelligent again! Embrace intelligence! Wit! With passionate, experimental and beautiful beats! This is what made hip hop so interesting in the first place.

    I've been a music teacher all my life and what I see here is the absolute key to the future of education. Music teachers fight on a yearly basis for our jobs and relevance. I taught Haiku's using the pentatonic scale (all the black keys on the piano) and the students performed their poems while playing the piano. One of the most interesting and effective lessons I've taught. The response I received from my principal was "how are you going to assess their learning." CLUELESS!

    wu for the kids man!!! science just got more REAL!!! I hope this inspires kids to defend science instead of creationism, this is a great move for hip hop artists to make, we're all involved in this project of education... it's our only chance for the future... see Sam Harris.
    GZA 4eva!!!

    For some children literacy IS their creativity. If these children in this video can't be literate (i.e. be able to read and communicate) then they won't be successful outside of a school that uses rap to teach science. Jobs don't do that. That being said, I do think this program will be great for this particular school.

    assuming these kids are 14, that would have them being born in 1999 - four years after the release of Liquid Swords. I doubt even 20% knew who he is.

  • @EowyntheFair88
    @EowyntheFair88 11 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    This is a neat idea...for this school. Get them interested in science and show them how it can be interesting too. I don't think this should be applied everywhere, because not all students relate to rap and hip-hop . (Contrary to GZA's statement of never having met a kid who didn't listen to rap.)
