- For Professor Longhair and his Blues Scholars, see Professor Longhair. Blue Scholars is a hip hop duo based in Seattle, Washington, created in 2002 while the members, DJ Sabzi and MC Geologic, were students at the University of Washington. The name "Blue Scholars" is a play on the term "blue collar," which is an idiom for workers who often earn hourly wages for manual labor. Their music and lyrics frequently focus on struggles between socioeconomic classes, challenging authority and youth empowerment, as evidenced in the songs "Opening Salvo," "Blink," and "Commencement Day. " These themes are often specifically addressed in relation to the Seattle region ("Southside Revival", "North by Northwest", and "The Ave"), and heavily draw upon Geologic's history as an activist within the Filipino community dealing with issues of immigration, racism, and US neo-imperialism in the Philippine Islands ("Talk Story", "The Distance"). Recent music has begun to extend even further outward, reflecting the group's greater West Coast and Pacific roots including an album devoted to exploring Geo's Hawaiian heritage on the OOF! EP.
- Blue Scholars est un duo de Hip Hop basé à Seattle, Washington, créé en 2002 alors que ses membres, DJ Sabzi et MC Geologic étaient étudiants à l'Université de Washington. Le nom "Blue Scholars" est un jeu de mot avec le terme "Blue Collar" (en français "Col bleu") qui est une manière d'appeler les employés qui font un travail manuel. Leur musique et paroles sont centrées sur la lutte entre des classes, la critique des autorités et la prise de pouvoir des jeunes, comme le montrent les chansons "Opening Salvo", "Blink" et "Commencement Day". Ces thèmes sont parfois en rapport avec la région de Seattle, comme dans "Southside Revival", "North by Northwest" ou "The Ave".
