- Lupe Fiasco speaks about SOSA (The Society of Spoken Art), an educational guild that brings established and aspiring rappers together to hone their verbal prowess and master the fundamentals of linguistic and semiotic methodology. In its educational dimension, SOSA fosters connections between established rappers and some of the most well-respected minds in academia. A comprehensive curriculum provides lyricists with the guidance and resources they need to deepen their linguistic and rhetorical understandings of spoken art.
In this conversation with his MIT collaborator Professor Nick Montfort, Fiasco covers the history, structure, academic and artistic programming, methodology, and goals of the organization. Learn more: arts.mit.edu/artists/lupe-fia...

When is the next class?
is royce sosa or not? lupe said he’s IT but royce didn’t even know what it was. unless they playin us
I think Lupe uses terms like “IT” and “OT” fluidly to show connection between SOSA’s language/hierarchy and the general public. While someone may not technically be a part of SOSA, they may have that level of skill, however. For example, he also named Jay and Drake OTs in the conversation, and I would guess they’re most likely not part of SOSA.
Hes not about of SOSA
