IDKMYDE: NISSAN - S.T.E.A.M.

We're taking it to the Thrills of Possibility Summit at the National African American Museum of Music in Nashville, Tennessee, courtesy of Nissan and the Black Effect Podcast Network! Let's dive deep into the message room, exploring the current hip-hop scene through the lens of STEAM – Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics.  From the science of acoustics to the technology behind how you're listening right now, we're breaking it all down. Engineering, arts, and mathematics? Oh, they're all part of the rhythm and rhyme that shapes the culture we love.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
When you think about current hip hop as it pertains
to steam, there's a lot of synergy there. Science, technology, engineering, arts,
and mathematics all in the music. Is that something that
I didn't know? Maybe you didn't either. I didn't know
what's happening beat out here. I am thrilled to be
right here at the Thrills of Possibility Summits at the

(00:21):
National African American Museum of Music rights here in Nashville, Tennessee.
Thrills come in different ways, but nothing is more thrilling
than education. So join me on this journey of discovery
right here in the National African American Museum of Music
courtesy of Nissan and the Black Effect Podcast Network. The
room we're in is the message room. It's current hip hop.

(00:43):
You did what I'm saying, And when you think about
current hip hop as it pertains to steam, there's a
lot of synergy there. So let's break down the five letters. Science, technology, engineering, art,
and mathematics. Science is all in the music. Whether you're
talking about acoustics, physics, you the science the way music
makes you feel, that's neuroscience. Like if you're in the gym,

(01:04):
you probably want to listen to Eminem you want to
lose yourself into music, but if it's Mother's Day, you
probably want to hear some boys the men. Let's go
to the tea. The way you're consuming this podcast right
now is technology. The way you listen to your favorite music. Technology.
Let's go to the E. Engineering engineers are needed to
mix and master music and podcast alike, whether you using

(01:26):
sound effects, different instrumentals, and music beds, that's all engineering, baby.
And now the arts, like when lyricists use their words
as an art form, like when Tupac references Shakespeare or
the entertainer himself, that's art. The medium he's using art,
the visuals, that's all art. Then you got the m
the mathematics. You can talk about the beats, per minutes

(01:46):
and songs, or you can talk about the way songs
are constructed with sixteen bars in a verse, or you
can go back to nineties hip hop and listen to
some nas or rock Him or ghost Face. And they
always talked about today's mathematics. So what's today's mathematics? God?
Oh the third three that's understanding, God, listen, Mathematics is
all around us in the music and so esteemed science, technology, engineering, arts,

(02:09):
and mathematics, all in the music, all in the culture,
And I am thrilled to bring that to you straight
from the National African American Museum of Music, because that's
something that I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either. Fucking five,
I didn't know. I didn't know.
