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.

"Is this life?" Best reaction! LOL!

@knetik 11 лет назад

@BLACKSPARXTV 11 лет назад

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

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!!!

@RadWoWGaming 11 лет назад

ODB would be so proud if not only GZA but the clan!

@GFunkadelic707 11 лет назад

This is great. GZA is a great guy who is actually making a change. Props to GZA and this school program. Respect

Victoria may not rap but her lyrics are good

@MutedAds 11 лет назад

I honestly wonder of they knew who GZA really was before that day

@CarbonOwl993 11 лет назад

Theres actually hope for humanity.

@BogdanManciu 11 лет назад

I would've loved seeing GZA rap with the kids on the same terms.

@journalisten_boy9141 11 лет назад

This is awesome! This is how school should be on a daily basis. Education should be fun.

@Grungefan9 11 лет назад

Idk anyone else who actually knows who gza is

@mcgeehan07 10 лет назад

the genius

@Pevebra1 11 лет назад

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.

@KnutRenton 10 лет назад

No that is the school. It is called Bronx Compass.

@RockAustinDXtakerRk0 11 лет назад

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

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!

@cinkco 11 лет назад

spot on dude! canibus and gza are my two fav mcs for those reasons exactly.

@tochiRTA 11 лет назад

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.

@Blessed3175 10 лет назад

Awesome. We have to continue to foster "unconventional" ways of teaching. Learning is versatile and a a beautiful thing.

@refragop45 11 лет назад

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!

@refragop45 11 лет назад

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!!!

@JeepYMM 11 лет назад

More of these video of this high school!

@11451rhythmic 11 лет назад

amazing. we need more people like him! thinking outside the box, that's sick :)

@EowyntheFair88 10 лет назад

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.

@wikedsux 11 лет назад

@EowyntheFair88 10 лет назад

I think that's actually the name...

@IndigoesMoroot 11 лет назад

@TheDeanParks 11 лет назад

These kids need to diversify their bonds.

@nonapplicable5499 11 лет назад

Step into the Wu.

@meanygreene 11 лет назад

other than canibus, GZA has to be the deepest rapper, other than nas of course

@isaccnorman 11 лет назад

gza please come to my school inglemoor high school in kenmore washingiton

@EowyntheFair88 10 лет назад

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.)
