This afternoon we were sent the video above by our friends over at the Nerdist Channel along with a note that said the following…
Renowned astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson sits down with The Wu-Tang Clan’s GZA to discuss the intersection of science, hip-hop and urban life. Also on hand with Dr. Tyson are comic Chuck Nice and Dr. Christopher Emdin (who wrote the book “Urban Science Education for the Hip-Hop Generation”)
While I’m sure you’ll be blown away by GZA’s knowledge of science and philosophy, don’t forget that he and Tyson were reported to be working together on a hip-hop album about space a few months back. Enjoy.

GZA is the genius of Wu Tang Clan. His knowledge does not blow me away because I respect my neck son.

Neil deGrasse Tyson actually created an Uproxx account and explained that they weren’t working on any music.
