Performance, Feedback, Revision

Baba Brinkman might just be the smartest rapper out there. I recommend you listen to his entire Rap Guide to Evolution album, but this track stands out.

How is tweaking a lyric just like natural selection? Creativity and mutation leads to performance, selection or audiences provide feedback, and the genome or the rapper continue to revise. 

This. Is. Awesome.

Evolution is really just kind of an algorithm that goes like this: Performance, Feedback, Revision

(If you’re more into classical literature, Baba Brinkman also took a stab at The Canterbury Tales)
