lil B

“You can have a million stones thrown at you, and you can still be positive.”

In just a few short months, Lil’ B has gone from rapping by water heaters (“Tiny Pants”), to lecturing at NYU.  With a message of positivity and anti-violence, Lil’ B was a big hit with the NYU student body, as evidenced by the continual applause and chants of Lil B catch phrases.  In part one of his speech, Lil’ B talks about cutting himself some slack as an infant learning to walk, not fighting violence with violence, and the social meaning of words.  The lecture has a real ebb and flow, as Lil’ B approaches serious sociological theory, such as ethnicity vs. race, yet also speaks on the wonders of insects.  Watch part one below and part 2 coming soon.
