- In this Science Genius sequel, GZA of the Wu-Tang Clan makes a surprise visit to the Bronx Compass science students and blows their minds. As co-creator of Science Genius, a pilot program which uses hip hop culture to teach science, GZA spends the class period working one on one with the students to craft tight rhymes about Darwin's theory of natural selection.

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.
we need more teachers like that, and shout out to the GZA/Genius
"Is this life?" Best reaction! LOL!
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!!!
GZA taking them to school.
Those youngins just received one of the greatest lessons in life & it came from one of the greatest emcees of our time! Every album this man has put out is a teaching tool! Salute to Allah Jus.....n the teachers for puttin it into existence! Priceless
ODB would be so proud if not only GZA but the clan!
This is great. GZA is a great guy who is actually making a change. Props to GZA and this school program. Respect
Music is a universal language, understood by all!
Those were my favorite parts. He was showing them a way to construct a good rhyme.
Victoria may not rap but her lyrics are good
I honestly wonder of they knew who GZA really was before that day
This is awesome! This is how school should be on a daily basis. Education should be fun.
Theres actually hope for humanity.
Tyson is so NOT overrated. They are both great in their fields.Both respect each other. You should check out the interview Tyson did with Gza. Great interview.
I would've loved seeing GZA rap with the kids on the same terms.
Idk anyone else who actually knows who gza is
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.
the genius
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
No that is the school. It is called Bronx Compass.
i cant imagine anyone who can touch this emcee lyrically. gza true G.O.A.T.
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!
spot on dude! canibus and gza are my two fav mcs for those reasons exactly.
Awesome. We have to continue to foster "unconventional" ways of teaching. Learning is versatile and a a beautiful thing.
gza we love u, the world needs u!
WOW! I am speechless. Hopefully this can actually catch-on as effectively as it appears to be...
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.
Victoria is killing it!
gza we love u, the world needs u! love to chris edmin a well, really working hard to bring it to the people... how fuckin admirable is THIS guy man, respect!
id like to be part of that class:)
Great work! Science is the way forward for mankind, that's for sure.
this is so amazing. definitely playing a huge part in securing a bright future for the youth.
Keegan > Lil Wayne
This is absolutely awesome! Keep going!
true
Imagine if you missed school that day..
this is too dope. and Victoria bars are seriously, she need to lay down a track lol
OMG Keegan Is So Great. Who Else Thinks Keegan Is Awesome ?
amazing. we need more people like him! thinking outside the box, that's sick :)
Victoria is amaaazing!
Hip Hop in full effect!
beautiful, very inspirational. gza is down, thats a big deal, going to the bronx to reach out. seriously a great day for hip hop, the youth, the bronx and education.
Damn, I want GZA to come to my school.
The chick snapped!!!
Kids in the hood using words like "intertwine" and respecting OGs like GZA? That's a pretty unqiue "hood
I would love to hear more rhymes from the girl.. They deeper rhymes yet they all kinda deep and sweet. Much love
This was beautiful more of these current "rappers" should think of doing this!
It shows real hiphop can be a better education about the world then schools are tho ;D
hahahahaha poor gza at 4:10 the kids are like i dont give a fuck, and the legend gza is like man im gonna try and teach these kids, then at 4:29 he was like man what the fuck did i just say hahhahahahahahaha wu-tang 4 ever
Keegan's bars sound like De La Soul!
I wish my high school and college had that.
other than canibus, GZA has to be the deepest rapper, other than nas of course
good work !!!!!!
More of these video of this high school!
Right on!
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.)
That is fucking awesome.
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.
Awesome! First Brooklyn and hopefully Chicago!!!
We have some true hip hop artists here too so I hope they get wind.
Yo how diz kids have apple computer
And we had pin and paper
Wow I believe u guys are on to something special an I support this project, amazing!
