Lupe Fiasco's MIT: Academic Rap

Wasalu Jaco p.k.a. Lupe Fiasco is a rapper, producer, entrepreneur, philanthropist, (martial) artist, (and more), and is spending the 2022-2023 school year at MIT as an MLK Visiting Scholar. He was kind enough to take some time to talk about his goals for the upcoming year, where he envisions rap going and its interplay with academia and institutions, and the fundamentals of his craft. Talking with Lupe was incredibly on many levels, and I look forward to connecting with him again at the end of the year and re-examining this discussion then.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
