You can see this in full effect with the recent battle between Kendrick and Drake. Kendrick used the element of surprise to its full effect, in his timing of release as well as the releases themselves, showcasing many different styles of rap and saying the quiet parts out loud in a masterful flow. Drake surprised people when he named his last track "The Heart Part 6," what Kendrick would potentially name a sequel to "The Heart Part 5." Drawing out and shortening parts of words. Drake with "Freeeeeeze" and Kendrick in response with "A Minorrrrrrrrr;" their soundbytes between lines too.

Its like you took nothing from this lecture except the generalities about surprise. Forget about the plot break structure, how can we relate surprise in general to the current hot topic? Ok, let me back off a bit because the intention here is at least an attempt to analyze things and thats way more respectable than pure stan motivated glorification, but I still wish people listened to this lecture and got more of the concept than that its just about surprising people. Lupe is talking about surprise in the lyrical content of raps. He lays out how to setup the groundwork to make whatever is going on sematically more surprising. Like plot break structure. You establish a pattern to generate expectation and then you subvert those expectations. So how did Drake and Kendrick do that? What pattern did Kendrick establish that got people expecting one thing so that he can do the opposite and surprise everyone? That would be closer to what Lupe is talking about in this lecture. Also, how did the surprising scenerios and the intentional subversions make the disses more memorable? Did Drake go along with a narrative to make people think one thing only to flip it all at the end to say another thing entirely? Answering these might convince me that we are seeing "this in full effect with the recent battle between Kendrick and Drake." The only thing I can think of is how Drake created a subversion of a pattern by naming HIS diss track The Heart Part 6. The pattern was pre-established but the issue is that in this case, the subversion of this pattern is not what made the name surprising. Nobody expected Kendrick to make a Part 6 for this diss battle. If people were expecting The Heart Part 6 to be the name of Kendricks next diss against Drake but then Drake swoops in and calls his diss to Kendrick that, then that would be using the formula Lupe is teaching with a new tweak

What Lupe is doing is more important than people realize. Lets consider the original acronym, Rhythm and Poetry. The rhythm part is the musical part and is very well represented in academia primarily in schools of music. You can find many courses on rap being taught in these institutions, but what about the poetry part which represents the literary side to the art? First off, you wont find many courses on this side and the ones you do find often cover the art's impact on history and culture rather than the literary components used in the art i.e the poetry i.e. the lyrics/lyricism. While some of the subjects Lupe says he will cover fall under the umbrella of performance and delivery, the core will be about the literature side of the art. While Lupe is viewed as a top-tier hiphop artist by hiphop heads, he is no longer viewed as one by the mainstream. However, nobody who knows anything about him and the rap scene in the last 2 plus decades can deny he is a top tier lyricist. His lyricism is nearly universally acknowledged by other rappers, from the legends to the ones that are popular now. Jay-Z called him one of the best writers of our time. Naz said he is the one that reminds him most of himself. When asked who is the best lyricist in rap, LL Cool J immediately thought of Lupe. Lupe teaching at MIT is not just something that MIT decided on a whim. They have been working with Lupe for years. Nick Montfort (the MIT professor who introduced Lupe), was one of the earliest members of SOSA which Lupe founded for rappers to study rap seriously. Universities with huge reputations don't make moves like this without confidence, trust, and awareness.

Rhythm and Poetry was an acronym invented later. Rap derived from African tribal languages, which tranferred to the enslaved African-Americans, with a meaning of speaking rhythmically to music, so eventually it became the term for one of the 5 elements of hip hop.

Not taking away from Eminem flow pattern but his first album and several albums songs consisted of mainly taking pills, wanting to kill his kids mother, making fun of pop stars. Nothing really deep. Later on he had songs which had more meaning but for the most part Eminems music is funny and not to be taken seriously. Eminem flow is godly but his subject matter is generally the same for all his albums. He's not really that educated. Doesn't make him less dope. Stan is where Eminem got deep and taught a lesson.

One thing that was so astonishing about Lupe when he first arrived in music was the seamless way in which he could intertwined conversational introspection into his lyrical delivery, of course it had been done with artist before but he never broke form in any verse nor did he ever seem to have his thoughts out of place it all seem so well refined. He doesn’t get enough credit for the uniquely refined flow he introduced to the game which in many was retooled by Wale, Kendrick, Cole and Drake.

I can easily see why Lupe is teaching at MIT. This is a masterclass on story, thinking, surprise, and rap. This is fabulous! And worth every minute of attention... more than once!

It's really sad seeing such a top-tier lyricist as Lupe teach about Kendrick's rap verse calling him a genius, but then chooses Drake over Kendrick in the rap battle, and not even listen to any of Kendrick's songs in a battle considered as one of the biggest in rap history. What am I missing???🤦🏾♀

This is so cool to see wtf. As a college grad he has an insanely natural way of engaging with the room. He's gonna make a great professor if he keeps at it.

Restricted action personified. I write this from the perspective of someone 1 week out from surgery in moderate pain. Stuck in bed yet scheduled to be at work in 2 hours. Our rap poetry is an escape into a sonic or even just literary adventure to mitigate the limitations between our imaginations and reality. Like casting a spell, the power of words can manifest in a tangible experience

Doubt this will be answered but gotta put it out there. Lupe said he teaches rap. I’ve got cognitive problems after a stroke and learning to rap has helped my speech. I struggle like mad……where can I watch/learn these session, if there are any. This has been the best 90min!!

Thanks Lupe. As a punk/synth rock/rock musician and an enormous rap fan, these lessons have transcended into both how I write and perform and how I enjoy and perform (to my ability lol) rap. I'd get into it but I'd be here all day lol. Both genres are much much more than meets the eye, and have drastically changed my life.

How cool. I go from seeing him on stage with a live band behind him back around 2007 or 2008 at my college, VCU, to seeing him on stage at MIT through the internet. I don't remember exactly, but The Cool had just come out recently and it was cold enough to wear a hoodie that night. I still remember his little "Rims and timbs.... rims and Timbs.... you know I keep a whole lotta rims and Timbs" that lead into "Dumb it Down." Awesome live moment. EDIT: Oh wow, I see someone actually recorded it from the actual show I was at: kzitem.info/news/bejne/pn1vsWp-jmqGp44
