Rap tracks that bring the physics

[alsoknownas]

When rappers decide street smarts aren't enough, and start to drop science on ya*.

*or sometimes, pseudo-scientific mush.

The posse always ready - 98 at 98,
My posse come quick, because my posse got velocity,

Public Enemy - Louder Than A Bomb

“I first met Crackpot in like Head Starts,
Since then I knew he wasn’t too head-smart,
As I scribbled in art he insisted on standing in the sandbox,
To collect unknown amounts of pebbles and stones to throw rocks,
“It’s in the wrists”, he said when telling me in early physics lessons,
“Two atoms can’t occupy the same space at the same time”,

KMD - Mr. Hood at Piocalles Jewelry/Crackpot

In eternal blackness, in the midst of the darkest night,
Proteins and minerals, exist within specks of light,
Solids liquids and gases, and sparks of light within,
Infinite lengths and widths and depths and heights,
No beginning or ending, the seven dimensions,
Enough space for more than a million words and inventions,
To travel through time within enough room to be the womb,
Of the most high's great mind which he will soon make shine,
With intelligent elements in sight that he will gather,
In the realms of relativity electricity struck matter,
Energies explode he below to keep releasing,
Atoms by the millions, til the numbers increasing,
Til it was burning he kept returning itself to the source,
The hotter his thoughts it gave the center more force,
He gave birth to the sun which would follow his laws,
All caused by his mental intercourse, who is God?

Rakim - The Mystery (Who Is God?)

Probably KRS-One has a whole album that qualifies. Any other other worthy hip hop theses?

Piblic Enemy - Miuzi Weighs a Ton

Miuzi weighs a ton
Hold it

That's precisely the spirit.

N.W.A.- Express Yourself

It's Dre on the mic...
...And the knowledge is growing just like a fetus
Or a tumor

Which is it Doc.?
Thank god for the NHS.

More chemistry than physics, but I give you Blackalicious Chemical Calisthenics

I can do anything

Neutron, proton, mass effect, lyrical oxidation, you're irrelevant
Mass spectrograph, your electronvolt, atomic energy erupting
As I get all open on betatrons, gamma rays thermo cracking
Cyclotron any and every mic you're on
Trans iridium, if you're always uranium
Molecules, spontaneous combustion, pow

Law of definite proportion, gaining weight
I'm every element around

Lead, gold, tin, iron, platinum, zinc, when I rap you think
Iodine nitrate activate
Red geranium, the only difference is I transmit sound
Balance was unbalanced then you add a little talent in

Careful, careful with those ingredients
They could explode and blow up if you drop them
And they hit the ground

Rollin' with the Syndicate my unstoppable battalion,
38 solid gold, my medallion,
Gaining velocity, momentum, and energy,
Ice capital-T, boy,
I got the power,

Ice T - Power

Beastie Boys:

Now here we go dropping science, dropping it all over
Like bumping around the town, like when you're driving a Range Rover
Expanding the horizons and expanding the parameters
Expanding the rhymes of sucker MC amateurs

Naugels, Isaac Newton, Scientific EZ
Ben Franklin with the kite, getting over with the key
Now rock shocking the mic, of the many times times the times tables
Rock well to tell dispel all of the old fables

I've been dropping the new science, and I be kicking the new knowledge
An MC to a degree that you can't get in college
Now the dregs of the earth and the eggs that I eat
I've got pegs through my hands and one through my feet

Shea Stadium, the radium, EMD squared
Kicked out of the Palladium, you think that I cared?

It's the sound of science
The sound of science
Science
