WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

The Rap Guide to Evolution seems to speak for itself: Canadian Baba Brinkman creates an entire hip hop show about evolution, combining the wit, poetry and charisma of a great rapper with the accuracy and rigor of a scientific expert. But The Rap Guide not only uses hip-hop as a vehicle to communicate the facts of evolution; Brinkman also accomplishes the (more surprising) feat of illuminating the origins and complexities of hip-hop culture with Darwin as his inspiration.

RE:a solid and entertaining primer
This was an enjoyable show and the artist, Baba, deserves praise for being able to deliver his machine-gun lyrical lines filled with biological terms. In a show critical of Intelligent Design he presented an overly-long introduction to the theory of evolution, seemingly, without realizing that those who attended were probably already in accord with it. During a Q&A session at the end, he skipped over an inconvenient question about how current evolution jibes with the fact that the very intelligent are having fewer children and the less intelligent are having more.
