Droppin' beats... and knowledge

Our society has a long history of cartoon- and rock music-based education. If it weren't for Schoolhouse Rock, I'd still be largely in the dark about American History. Check out this take on the American Revolution. That George III is a real jerk!



A new company called Rhythm, Rhyme, Results is taking the Schoolhouse Rock idea into the 21st century with a series of educational raps. I was really hoping these would be hilariously bad, but I checked out "Demand, Supply", a hip hop synopsis of the 10 fundamental principles of economics, and I'll be damned if it isn't a little catchy.



The Freakonomics blog has the full lyrics posted, if you're interested in steppin' up yo education.
