    Lyrics:
    [intro]
    In those times when it feels like we fall apart
    We always find a way to put it back together
    I came to MIT, I thought I was smart
    Then I realized everybody here was so much better
    The main thing I learned at MIT was humility
    The main thing I found at MIT was the community
    I know you probably think that MIT's a university
    But when I think of MIT I think of home
    We're stronger together than we are alone
    Work harder together than we can alone
    Run farther together than we run alone
    Wait, MIT can rap? Well, you never know
    Shout out to the faculty, the researchers, the students, and the hospital
    The staff who makes the food we eat, the GRAs, the janitors
    The staff who run z-center, the leadership and Rafael Reif
    who shines a light on darkest times and writes the best emails
    [verse]
    I am bright like lightning
    I went to MIT to join the ranks of Richard Feynman
    I'd love to see the blueprints of the God who designed him
    Electromagnetics and quantum physics -- he combined them
    When things got hard… "Where's Feynman, find him"
    The finest of minds, in a time of decline like
    The finest of wines, he was always refining
    Dude was the bomb, but you know that redefined him
    Only love for Nagasaki
    I went to MIT to join the ranks of Noam Chomsky
    Academic to the limit, plus some paparazzi
    Syntactic or semantic, the champ of linguistic boxing
    A proxy for freedom of speech, but some could not see
    Brain on max like a pot of hot coffee
    Brain on fast like a brand new Kawasaki
    I don’t want no friction my life is a game of hockey
    Brain on facts, but my biceps floppy
    You caught me talking Chomsky the father of
    Cognitive linguistics, a baller no ballistics,
    100 books prolific, but kept it scientific
    A little bit political, but always humanistic
    I went to MIT to join the ranks of my advisor
    Isaac Chuang, the Kobe Bryant
    of quantum computing and ion devices
    The mastermind… The Dr. Frankenstein
    Who provided me the guidance, Re-wired my mind
    Now I'm a rapper and a scientist, the grand design
    So it only seems right that I use this last line to say…
    "Thank you, Ike"
    Let's set a new standard
    I went to MIT to join the ranks of Claude Shannon
    Who put together algebra and circuits single-handedly, but always candidly
    He commanded the digital planet that we demanded
    The world that we live in now…. He planned it
    Laptops internet Dropbox …. Shannon
    Xbox satellites iPods... still Claude Shannon (still Claude Shannon)
    I speak with intention
    I went to MIT to join the ranks of Patrick Winston
    V-SNC
    The V stands for Vision
    The S stands for Steps
    The N did I mention, it stands for News
    The C is Contribution
    We listened to you Patrick Winston
    We loved you, we miss you, we knew when we lost you
    that one box of tissues couldn't solve the fact
    We didn't just lose you, we lost all your wisdom
    Patrick, I wish you had the time to refine your theory that our minds can only process one language at a time
    So next time my friend's texting, says he hears me just fine. Nope he's lying
    Noam Chomsky
    Chomping on bananas
    Wondering why nobody even knows who Claude Shannon is
    I can't stand for this
    I wish MIT faculty were presidential candidates
    (Yo what band is this?)
    I'm PomDP I got no managers
    I'm magnanimous with the candidness
    The beat in my head
    Like meat in the bread
    I'm just making sandwiches
    My advantage is
    I love challenges
    Life's a big ole cookie jar
    And I got both my hands in it
    [chorus]
    I will never stop... even if I feel ill
    I will never pop a chill pill
    This ill skill, I'm the real deal
    I put my brain on the internet, so even when I die, I still will rap
    I'm past my past, I wish nobody ill will
    Master my craft, this is my "Kill Bill"
    Repping my brass rat 'til this lil spill
    Turn into a big splash now that's a big deal
    I will never stop... even if I feel ill
    Ya'll need to take a chill pill
    This ill skill, I'm real deal
    I put my brain on the internet, so even when I die, I still will rap
    I'm past my past, I wish nobody ill will
    Master my craft, this is my "Kill Bill"
    Repping my brass rat 'til this lil spill
    Turn into a big splash and I'm a big deal
    [outro]
    I gotta get some sleep
    Nah man, we gotta go hacking

    Wrote this for the students who had to miss their graduation during the pandemic, to bring us together during this time apart, and to show love and support to those who came before me. This is the second single of my upcoming album "PhD Rapper". Thank you for your support.

      I gotta say it man. That shout out for Ike Chuang was really heartfelt. He has not only thrust Quantum Information forward for decades but educated thousands, both personally and through the book he co-authored with Michael Nielsen. If you see this please give him a thank you from me.

    This captures the essence of MIT - and I've been a part of it and it has been a big part of me for a long time - you did an amazing job - you show the resilience, curiosity, humility, intensity, playfulness, and most of all the appreciation of what an amazing and unique community MIT is.

    Wow... you combined two things I like science and music. Shannon’s work in unscientific community is extremely underrated. We need more science rap music. Btw, what’s your area of research?

    • @phdrapper
      @phdrapper  Před 3 lety +6

      While a common viewpoint is to focus on how science and music are different, i like to focus on what unites the two fields: a deep reliance on creativity. My area of research is in augmenting human capabilities using AI. I invented confident learning for machine learning with noisy labels. I also invented cleanlab, the Python package for finding errors in data. We use all of these technologies in my company, ChipBrain, founded last year to empower people with AI assistance that makes them more effective at making a sale, asking for a raise, getting a date, etc -- ChipBrain empowers people with Empathy AI to increase their success in conversations. The company is growing quickly - check it out :)

      Also could you make a video about your PhD experience? (thinking of getting a masters or PhD in computer vision)
