      Aiyo, camouflage chameleon, ninjas scaling your building
      No time to grab the gun, they already got your wife and children
      A hit was sent from the President to raid your residence
      Because you had secret evidence and documents
      On how they raped the continents and lynched the prominent
      Dominant Islamic, Asiatic black Hebrew
      The year 2002 the battle's filled with the Wu
      Six million devils just died from the Bubonic Flu
      Or the Ebola virus, under the reign of King Cyrus
      You can see the weakness of a man right through his iris
      Unloyal snakes get thrown in boiling lakes of hot oil
      Up boils your skin, chickenheads getting slim like Olive Oyl
      Only plant the seed deep inside fertile soil
      Fortified with essential vitamin and minerals
      Use the sky for a blanket, stuffing clouds inside my pillow
      Rolling with the Lamb, Twelve Tribes a 144, 000 chosen
      Protons Electrons Always Cause Explosions

    5:57 I feel him on that. I am a 24 year old with an anxiety disorder. Growing up I had a terrible stutter and my anxiety disorder made me afraid to express myself and put myself out there in the world. When I was 8 years old my parents got cable and I went into the other room where I saw my first rap video. There was a guy on the side of a building saying that he bombed atomically and that Socrates, philosophies, and hypotheses can't define how he be droppin' these and I was hooked. Groups like Wu-Tang Clan provided me a way out of that dark angry place I created myself; I even quoted their songs over and over again to help me overcome my stutter. I received confidence where I felt inadequate, an outlet for all the hostility I had built up from being different, and they peaked my curiosity into things that I had never heard mentioned before. I became the first person in my family to graduate college and I am in law school now preparing for my first big exam. I took a break to watch a GZA video and here I am now.

    The way the GZA analyses and describes hip hop as an artform and platform to educate ourself and our children is something rappers are rarely able to do. This needs an unique form of intelligence. That is why he is The Genius.

    • @mc365mc
      @mc365mc 10 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      I think GZA is able to describe the artistry of rap music so well because he is speaking as a hip hop musician who's chosen to be an emcee rather than a rapper.
      It's like the difference between Kenny G. and Wynton Marsalis. The motivation of the emcee is not material, but for the love of the craft and the respect of ones peers. He holds the genre in high regard and challenges himself as well as his audience to evolve with each new release of material. In the last few years he's stopped using curse words in his music, as he's come to the conclusion that for the most part rappers use curse words because they lack sufficient vocabulary to express a thought completely and it no longer has shock value as everyone has become desensitized from the constant profanity. All in all I would say he is the second most under rated rap musician the first being AZ.

Some people say rappers aren't true musicians or songwriters and some say they arent even intelligent. This man is the argument to those kinds of statements. Much respect.

    Wu Tang is for the kids ! I met ODB just before he died. RIP . The whole WU TANG are legends.
    Even now that they are older they still show amazing amounts of intelligents.
    Much love from a NY,er in THE ATL.
    360 chambers and the Purple tape and everything else they touched always made me think. Unlike pop rap and other music WU always made me think . For that I thank all and everyone of the WU TANG CLAN.

    I have read about this project in a Dutch newspaper but quite forgot about it. Cool to see the actual program itself! This is a great way to engage kids into science by having a good and impressive role-model presenting it. When I was in high school I couldnt stay awake in physics class because a) it was always on monday and tuesday morning b) the teacher had a droning voice which soothed me into sleep c) the presentation, not the subject itself, was brought quite boring so it did not stimulate me to actively partake in the class. History class was the other way around. But I digress, I can see great possibilities for this program being applied to other classes like English language and literature, history, art etcetera.

    He proves why it’s good to ask questions, and question everything. Eventually you’ll find answers or find a way to make some sense of things, and at the end, you’ll get knowledge out of asking a question. You can tell he questions a lot of things.

    This is the kind of material I grew up listening to back in the day. Emcees had you running to the library to study what they were rapping about.
    Hopefully this will spark the second phase of another golden era of rap. The last 17 years has been the worst years of rap. And no it's not age. it's the complexity of the rhymes have been getting so bad that they are competing with Mother Goose.
