good shyt

there's an elephant in the room there. and that's the 5% teachings. part of the Lessons 120 was memorizing things like the weight of the earth, distance to the sun, the area of the Indian Ocean, etc. the idea was that if you were 'god of the universe' you should know something (everything) about it

I'm not a fan of the jive percenters racial theories. but they did have a focus on acquiring 'knowledge', reading books, and many things that I did find positive. and I'm sure it did inspire a lot of people to pursue (mainstream) science

Good watch... liked what GZA said about the lack of inspiration in the current gen of rappers.

That shyt served its purpose at the time. Its easy to knock it looking back but it gave people some positivity in life. :manny:

These cats are fruity as hell. Damn Gza. You gotta get in league with funboys to spit science.

The only difference is if I use the word nova I'll be talking about a star
Unlike the average rapper who would probably be talking about a car

I was bugging out when the shyt started, like wtf is this? :mindblown: These dudes must be in some secrect gay black scientists fraternity

Yea, it was cray how sweet these dudes were. I guess even in the science field you have to dumb down the masculinity to be respected. Cats lookin like straight up funboys. Gza playing himself to stay relevant but hopefully by using these funboys he can get some real men to step up and get interested in science. Its hard to get into a subject when your teacher looks like a funboy.
