Dark Matter

I just found this clip in which the GZA raps about space in a classroom, because he thinks that maybe kids will respond to music. I personally find the notion crazy--why on Earth would a bored kid unchallenged by her education feel moved by hip-hop? Sarcasm aside, I think the idea is creative and overdue and likely to be effective. If I ever have kids, they will most certainly be listening to science raps on a regular basis.

The album Dark Matter, which inspired this clip, is due out in the fall of 2015. Until then, he's touring American universities to discuss the relationship between art and science, as well as working with New York City public schools to revamp education through the use of music.
