Rap isn't my favorite genre but other than a full-on opera I can't think of another musical form that could do evolution justice. Nice.

I hate rap.
But this is still better than that auto-tune crap.

Hmm. Haven't you posted this before?
Or perhaps it was Coyne or The Thread.

FWIW, videos embedded at Pharyngula almost never play for me. I usually get the error. I wonder if it has to do with the traffic volume.

Why is it that all the science rap videos are so much better than the tea-bagger/neo-con rap? Come on wing nuts, get some better music.

They get points for effort, but I'm really not feeling it. As far as science-oriented hip hop goes, Greydon Square is probably the least cringe-inducing I've come across.

I see you're unfamiliar with the West Coast posse led by DJs Clipart and Tranzishuns. Their fans (self-styled "Clippits") refer to their dedication to the duo in 'points': 12, 16, 24, and 32. If you haven't heard the track "Any Questions???"—it's the last one off their first album, "Bullet List"—you don't know gangsta.

I like it way better than that other dude who raps about evolution... My only disappointment in this genre invented by black kids is the lack of black kids on this expedition. Not the fault of anyone on hand, of course. Hopefully in the future a group like this will reflect the diversity of our country better. Oh, and on a related note, not enough women either. Sigh.

The lack of racial diversity in this rap is probably related to the lack of racial diversity in the Biology class that took the trip, coupled with the lack of cash in the wallets in many of the parents of those kids. I love it none-the-less. Stuff like this, if it gets seen by minority kids, might just cause a few more of them to move their interests in the biological direction.

Filmed on location at beautiful Leland J. Stanford Junior University near Palo Alto, California. (Stanford has its own zip code.)
The mural in the background is on the front face of Memorial Church, in the Main Quad.
Yes indeedy.
