Help Kickstart Baba Brinkman’s Animated Rap Guide to Religion

If you’ve been fre­quent­ing Open Cul­ture long enough, you’ll know all about the Cana­di­an “geek rap­per” Baba Brinkman and his epic raps. The sub­jects of Brinkman’s raps have includ­ed evo­lu­tion, arti­fi­cial selec­tion, The Can­ter­bury Tales, and British ver­sus Cana­di­an Eng­lish. Now, he’s try­ing to crowd­source a new rap album through Kick­starter. Actu­al­ly it’s an ani­mat­ed rap album about the sci­en­tif­ic study of reli­gion. You can lis­ten to two songs (of an even­tu­al eight) over at Kick­starter. They’re called “Reli­gion Evolves” and “Big Gods.”

Cur­rent­ly, 210 back­ers have pledged $13,419 towards the $20,000 he’s try­ing to raise. Above, Baba explains how the mon­ey will be spent. To move for­ward, the cam­paign needs to be ful­ly fund­ed by Tues­day, Sep­tem­ber 9th, at 8:56 AM PDT. We hope you’ll help push Baba over the top. You can make a con­tri­bu­tion here.
