It's 'Dike' not Dyke.. 'Diplomacy dyke' would be a short haired, sensible shoe wearing woman who can't get parking tickets. :)

If you want to discover the secrets of the universe, stop sitting around meditating and trying to "navigate the astral realm" and pick up a fucking physics textbook.

@cedarcember 1. you could load the mp3 into something like audacity (open source, doiwnlaoadble from source forge i think) or any audio editing software record your bleeps saying "bleep" or "censored" and then play it. 2. I would also think of changing to another college if "critical thinking" and these lyrics can't coexist. 3. A third idea: become inspiring yourself - aim at reducing Tim's poem to poetry but be yourself the start of a good in-class debate on critical thinking :-)

@alloydpratt Sounds like you've solved a major problem.

@cedarcember WTF??? You can't swear in College??? o.O It's not like he's using it in an offensive way really, like saying "Your a f**king c**t!" he's AWESOME and if your teachers or whatever are such bums that they can't see that, you should show it in class just to peeve them off!!! :) Sorry for my little rant

@cedarcember You mean you cannot use any material with swearing/offensive language in it? What about books like Huckleberry Finn or Catcher in the Rye? What kind of institute is this that would rather let their students miss valuable content than offend some morons? Talk about critical thinking, how ironic...

@ChickityChoice It means it's not tightly "woven" and therefore not bound by strict rules. Of course, this is a metaphor referring to the weaving of a fabric.

Man this was awesome! This is the first beat poem i have listen'ed to and i loved every bit of it! Nearly everything this guy said was so logical and concise. I would like to say that i agree with almost everything he says, and everyone else should to. I think the only difference between him and me though,, which he would probably disprove of, is that im a christian XD But, despite that i think we could get along lol

@cedarcember You could cough loudly when he swears, or download the video and edit the audio in some sort of video editing program.
