Watch This Teacher Turn Migos's "Bad and Boujee" Into a Civil War Rap
“My troops are mad and losing.”
Migos‘s “Bad and Boujee” has reached the top of U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and received a shoutout during Donald Glover’s Golden Globes acceptance speech as being “the best song ever.” Now, the viral track is making its way into classrooms.
David Yancey is a middle school social studies teacher in Georgia who has updated Migos’s famous lines such as “my b*tch is bad and boujee” with a Civil War context: “My troops are mad and losing,” referring to the Emancipation Proclamation. And also, “Pop pop/drop drop.”
“I try to build rapport, teach the material, and ultimately bridge the gap,” Mr. Yancey comments. “I ask the students the song that the kids are into and I adjust the content to match.”
Watch the full educational performance above, with hypeman and all, and share your thoughts in the comments.
