Lupe Fiasco Will Teach A Hip Hop Class
Lupe Fiasco Will Teach A Hip Hop Class. Recently, Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco made some big moves. He’ll be teaching a rap course at MIT.
Rapper Turned Teacher
Lupe Fiasco Will Teach A Hip Hop Class. Recently, HipHopDX announced Lupe Fiascos’ new endeavor. Otherwise known for his poetic style of rapping, he’s making his way into the classroom. But, not as a student.
Previously, Lupe had a stint as a Visiting Artist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Art, Science and Technology center. Additionally, Fiasco was in charge of the Code Cypher competition.
Now, he’s putting on his teaching hat as Visiting Professor for the 2022-2023 school year. Not to mention, he’s in good company. Other creators like filmmaker Louis Messiah will join him.
Apparently, this new Lupe Fiasco endeavor is one he had to remain tight-lipped about until now. He said this via Twitter:
I been holding this for a while. I’ll put together something more sophisticated later that really captures the nuance and gravity but for now I’ll just say it straight and raw:
I’m going to teach Rap at @MIT
🥲

What Will The Students Think
Furthermore, after a fan questioned what students would get out of this, he replied:
“Syllabus isn’t built yet but I’m thinking its fruit to be had in looking at neuromorphic computation through the lens of Rap as a lossless data compression model with a dash of energy efficiency via refining Landauer’s principle applied to cytoarchitectonics. And some rapping…”
Of course, this announcement comes just days after he confirmed his new album was set to drop on June 24th. Subsequently, the lyricist changed his Twitter handle to “DRILL MUSIC IN ZION” JUNE 24th.
Ultimately, Fiasco sees MIT as a place where “nerds go to connect with other nerds.”
Above all, I think this new title will fit Lupe Fiasco well. Are you looking forward to the new album?
