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.

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.
Nah he would probably lecture on true hip hop and how rap today champions brainless fucks like you.
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.
