Surviving on talent and desire, this band is out to make more than a little noise. Mixing live drums, guitar, bass, trombone, trumpet, and a witty, self-deprecating lead rap vocal reminiscent of the Philly sound, The Urban Sophisticates have created a unique blend of live Hip Hop music. It is by no accident that this group has achieved a great deal in a relatively short amount of time.
Drawing from the diverse musical backgrounds of its members, The Urban Sophisticates continue to blur the line between a traditional Hip Hop group and a live band. The Urban Sophisticates are poetic, spiritual, and catchy. Songs like London Trench Coat and Just Not Urban Enough, deliver the bands sarcastic, social commentary, while at the same time showing that the band doesnt mind poking fun at themselves. Snappy lyrics accompanied by horns all blended with the elements of hip-hop have made listeners from Chicago to Charlotte take notice. Being chosen out of 400 possible acts for the new band showcase at the national Cornerstone Festival has also been instrumental in the early success of the band.
They were the best new band at Cornerstone this year. The music is fun with hooks you cannot get out of your head. "Just Not Urban Enough" and "It's Gotta Be The Hardest Thing" make you bob your head and sing along and laugh all at once. They're definitely doing something different...

Sometimes the things in math we take most for granted are hard to prove and understand; simple facts like the angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees, or the circumference over the diameter of a circle, pi, really is a constant.
I hope to be a teacher one day, and I would make the proofs of these simple statements an exercise to test how much they really know, as opposed to how much the think they know. We are all guilty of it ourselves, taking simple and "obvious" principles for granted without truly understanding them.
Recently, I set out to prove the second derivative test for multivariate functions, a theorem whose statement is unsightly and seemingly incomprehensible, but as I set about proving it, each piece became more and more clear, and now, I fully understand the theorem and it's implications, and I see that it is truly beautiful.
Mathematics is a wonderful thing.

To all the people complaining about his clothes and his accent: If you cannot focus on the message because you're too busy judging the mannerisms and appearances of the person delivering it, you're going to miss out on a lot in life. I get that his job includes sounding and looking as pleasing as possible, but not everyone with important things to say will appeal to you. If you're able to get rid of your prejudices and keep an open mind to what they're trying to say, you may just pick up something you did not know.

It's a shame that english people find it so entertaining to mock french people speaking in English with an accent when their english is probably worse than this man. His words are well structured, it sounds appealing and even when he speaks in French, the way he uses his words.... It's beautiful.

I agree

He speaks English better than many so-called English speakers. I wish my French sounded as good as his English.
