How to change the format of pre-made corpora to train an lsi model

[Hila Mamekransky]

Hey, I am new to gensim. I downloaded the text8 corpus and wish to use it to train an LSI model but I think the format of the corpus is different. I have the following code:

from gensim.models import LsiModel
import gensim.downloader as api

corpus = api.load('text8')

When I try 

model = LsiModel(corpus) I get the following error:

ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)

Could someone please explain how I convert the corpus format to make an lsi model? Any help would be much appreciated
