This course examines rap music and hip hop culture as artistic and sociological phenomena within diverse historical, cultural, economic, and political contexts. We meet online, twice a week in a Zoom Webinar to facilitate an interactive experience to discuss the development of various hip hop styles, the appropriation by the music industry, intercultural participation, intracultural conflict, and controversies resulting from the exploitation of hip hop music and culture as a commodity for national and global consumption. Additionally, we will address race in America and its intersections with gender, class, religion, and ethnicity.
