But, don’t scientists be lyin’ ‘n chit?
Gotta has faith! (Or credulity, haven’t worked out the difference yet.)

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.

*sigh* Souls of Mischief played in Dublin for pittance recently and I missed them…
That tune always make me sad :(

More sciency musical goodness, nice!

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

Awful… awful…. Swimmin’ in elephant juices? Awful.
And yeah. Magnets. WTF is up with them?

Powerpoints are not gangsta.

Is it wrong of me to say that I think the boobies were the best part?
donbuttonsays
Nice… I gots me a major in biology, and a minor in rhymes.
(Still waiting for DJ PZ to drop some chill verses)

Uh, aren’t the latest figures somewhere between 3.6 & 3.7?

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.

The original is a classic.

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.

They still didn’t tell me how magnets work!

Give this a try: Regulatin’ Genes.
And here I was thinking PZ was rocking a video about Dungeons and Dragons edition 3.5
