Neo-simians,In the final hours of 2009, let us take a moment to reflect on this: up until 150 years ago, no one had the faintest idea why we look like we do, why we act like we do, or where we came from. Now we know, and we have Charles Darwin to thank...

Ben Roberts hey baba, the rap guide to evolution is absolutely killer. i listened to a live performance you did at the darwin festival in the UK and it grabbed me straight away. i'm a hip hop fan, and i recognise it for the new form of communication it is. people like you are finding a totally relevant new place for it in this wor...ld and your fusion of ideas, humour, entertainment, literacy, critical thinking and expansion of minds rightfully belongs to a new order of story telling. you should check out some aussie hip hop while you're at it. hilltop hoods come from adelaide where i live, and they rock!
Performance, Feedback, Revision!

Elliot Cooper Cole Hello Baba Brinkman!

We've been loving your songs and your videos; it's great to find
another rapper who knows the pleasure of telling stories that, though old,
are not too dead and cold to be told.

We want to share our most recent retelling of a story
that we found so completely compelling that we spent a year
composing and... recording,
a tale of wrestling with challenges of timeless universality:
deals made with the devil, ambition and morality,
sexuality, temptation, and spiritual weariness
re-colored, as it were, by personal experience.

Tom Rakewell is the anti-hero, Nick Shadow is the fiend,
with Auden and Stravinsky passing on their opera's genes --
we think we have some art in common, perhaps we can collaborate,
if you like this thing we've made, our Progress of the Rake:

Baba Brinkman Check out the first evangelical Christian review of "The Rap Guide to Evolution":
http://firstthings.com/blogs/evangel/2009/11/darwinism-gets-a-bad-rap/

My favorite quote is: "[he's] sadly reductionist but finds the courage to sin boldly." Damn right!

These morons don't know that Ali G is (well, was) a parody act by a comedian? He's right, he's no authority on rap...

I think its great press...many of those readers might be inspired to listen in. And I love the comments on the blog "As always, the ultimate end of progress is proud barbarism. Makes you wonder why the scientists ever crawled out of their caves." huh? Is he simply anti-progress, or does he think 'they' have more to contribute to progres than science?
