GZA To Lecture At Oxford University

    Over the past few years, Hip Hop has been taking over the university scene with numerous rappers giving lectures and teaching classes. Now, the backbone of the Wu-Tang Clan the GZA/Genius is taking his lecture series to Oxford University in England.

    Fresh off his lecture at Harvard University this past November, the Liquid Swordsman is heading overseas to a number of European institutions to talk about his craft as an MC, his career, the state of Hip Hop and his seminal solo LP Liquid Swords. The four week lecture tour will begin this weekend at Sheffield University and Oxford University in the UK, and will continue on through Germany, Switzerland, France and other countries.

    The GZA is also currently working on his follow up to 2008’s Pro Tools and is in talks to lecture at NYU and MIT this spring. The full list of lecture dates can be seen below.

    1. What is he going to lecture people on?…how to be poor and unsuccessful? People wanna learn about how to become a billionaire from Birdman.

      1. GZA is part of group who’s record sales near 40 million,and has been touring the globe for 20 years or so. I would say he is far from broke. I do realize you’re troll,and want nothing more than a reaction though.

    2. Hahaha, you played yourself fool, Oxford university is not in London. It would be like Harvard is in New York… SMDH!!! and they pay you to do this here shit.

    3. LOL! I bet you his lectures start off like this…”Ahem, good morning class, I’m GZA Genius, aka Maximillion aka justice Allah…Now, if you could all turn to chapter 1 of your Liquid Swords manuals….I’ll begin…ahem…so when the emcees came, to live out the name, and to perform….”

    4. AND U KIDS CALL LIL B A GENIUS. HAHAHAHAHAHA GZA TOURING ON THE STRENGTH OF HIS RAP WORDPLAY. IMMA PLAY DUEL OF THE IRON MIC RIGHT NOW.

    5. WOw!

      Wu is forever…. and I love GZA.

      But dude can barely talk properly – let alone give a “lecture”

      Nigga sounds like Muhammed Ali after the brain damage.

    6. It’s nice seeing different hip hop artists lecturing in classes. Bun B, 9th Wonder, GZA. All helping brightening up people’s minds.

    7. Hey DX, Oxford is not in London. It’s a completely different city in the UK.

      P.S – Hey, dumbass Americans: London is a city; not an entire country.

      1. NAME NAMES, ALL AMERICANS AIN’T IGNORANT. NOBODY HERE SAID U TEA AND CRUMPET PEOPLE ACROSS THE POND, SO CHILL.

    8. the liquid soluble that made up the chemistry,a gaseous element that burnt down ya ministry,herbal vapors & biblical papers smokin exodust every square yard is plush…………
