In a standout from his recently released mixtape
Detroit, Big Sean spits a few preach-heavy verses over a feel-good, piano clad beat known as the J. Cole featured "24 Karats of Gold." While discussing a few things he thinks could make the world a better, more joyful place, G.O.O.D. Music's young don utters the following rhyme...
"Like why don't schools teach more mathematics, less trigonometry and more about taxes"
- Big Sean, "24 Karats of Gold"
Pythagoras of Samos would be so offended. Most will defend the D-Town emcee, claiming trigonometry to be pointless to succeed in life, thus praising his calling out of schools' unnecessary curriculum. But, we all know the real reason behind the bar is Big Sean just could never quite understand Pre-Calculus. My guess? He never learned the SOH-CAH-TOA shortcut that many 11th grade math teachers swear by, which is the same shortcut that I heavily leaned on in my college physics mid-term last Friday. If I ever have the pleasure of meeting the
Finally Famous rapper, I'll be sure to drop him some knowledge on trig's super secret shortcut.
