I also prefer "A whole new world" mainly because I'm into musicals. I'm spreading the word +acapellascience! Hope to this more contents and more viewers for your channels!

I keep coming back to this song. It's just such a joyful celebration of the passion for knowledge. It's choke full of total gems, and it makes for a legitimately good rap song. I'm partial to "Leaving home as a hobbit you'll return as a king, Cause modern life is brain boxing and you're lord of the ring". It flows so well, and the message is so clear, and the references fit so damn well. Seriously good song writing. I can't get over it.

"Nerds! Our name since junior high, but we are now Dr. Last name saving Junior's lives" Fav lyric

I love being a nerd! Nerds make the world go round.

That was phenomenal, and reminded me just how much of a nerd I am.

"Grey matter is power, that's the power of Greyskull." Nice!

Dude!!!!!!! Tim this is easily my new favorite song! Musically = perfection!, Your rap flow and rhythm are dead on and amazing! Besides being a nerd, I am a BBoy and love quality hip hop and this song makes me want to dance to it in a battle! Seriously incredible bro!!!! Thank you for doing what you do! Please don't stop recording creatively amazing things like this! You are an inspiration! I am an Acapella nutcase and your harmonies are so tight man! Real quality! sorry for the compliment ramble, but you have me trippin right now. The funniest part about me seeing this video today is that I literally took an online Calculus 2 final last night and woke up to this! Incredible! Calc-U-Later! Peace and blessings! -John

My favourite rap for sure. Been listening to this so many times now

Years this is still one of my favorite videos in youtube. All of your videos actually. Thank you for doing what you do ❤

This. Is. Incredible.❤ I use to sing rock songs and am not familiar with rap at all. But this combination of lyrics, rhythm and tune goes right into my bones. How can anyone possibly come up with a rhyme on ADHD and 88 keys? Yet it grooves like hell! I also love the triumphant "NERDS" that kicks in every time it's repeated, accompanied by the floating "Neeeeeeeeerds" chorus (need to look up what notes you sing) - as well as the "plot" of the entire song. The imagery cracked me up way too many times to count (had to watch it over and over again in slomo to catch every detail). Also impressed to see you actually rap the texts and even the spitfire of abbreviations LIVE at incredible speed without video cuts (at least your hair movement suggests so, since it doesn't "jump"). And btw imagery, the video editing is tremendous, all in synch with music and lyrics - must have been a huge amount of effort. Forget about other rappers, here's the new age of NERDRAP knocking on our doors. "You say we're lame - are you kiddin' me? We run your day, from your games to your Twitter feed!" 😂 No clue how just one single guy can create such a brilliant video (even if you got help) but thanks a lot for this masterpiece!

Not to mention your absolutely awesome breath control!

"It's no secret that the geek shall inherit the earth." Bomb line

You should totally do something with AsapSCIENCE, both your channels are great it'd be awesome!

You are absolutely brilliant. One of the most unique, fun things I have come across in years. I can't get enough of it.

I absolutely love this, let me tell you why. 1.) it doesn't come off as cheesy or cringe, rather it shows a level of technical rap skill And 2.) it's something I can see myself listen to on a weekly basis

I'm amazed and appreciative that you included the portion of how us female nerds felt! You know, among the multitude of other things I related to (ADHD and musical theatre, for example, though literally everything fits). It just makes this anthem all the more celebratory and motivating! I'm still working towards it, but I'm on my way toward being a neurosurgeon, and this is definitely one of my favorite songs!
