I teach mathematics to inner city high schoolers. In the interest of stimulating their interest, I would like to know how often and where mathematics is mentioned in hip-hop lyrics. I wonder if there is a comprehensive searchable database of lyrics, or some resource that could provide such an answer. I know from my own experience there are at least a few good instances of math references. |

Hello Jaz Thanks for your question. Sounds like a great idea for your classes. I think Leo's lyrics database would help you: http://www.leoslyrics.com/ I tried searching it with the word 'math' and it came up with seventy or eighty songs, including: 'Do the Math' by Shades of Culture "Do the math and calculate the odds And you will see that these destined to be large" 'Life as.....' by L.L.Cool J "I can do division, baby I can do math Multiplying fractions now ya know the half " Of course the list also includes older stuff like Chuck Berry's 'School Day'! Mostly lyrics databases work only by song title or artist and will just offer you Jeru the Damaja's 'Wrath of the Math' album; but you might find more help via this google search: ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=lyrics+database&btnG=Google+Search And for hip-hop lyrics sites try: ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=hip-hop+lyrics+&btnG=Google+Search Please ask if anything needs clarification. Good luck with your students. Regards - Leli | |
