In this course, students will learn critical reading and writing skills through a multidisciplinary approach to hiphop studies. Song lyrics and videos will serve as our primary texts, supported by secondary texts from the various academic disciplines as well as some popular criticism, blogs, and documentaries. Over the term we’ll work on crafting strategic, well-organized essays about hiphop. Students will learn college writing skills for analyzing texts, making supported arguments, expressing conclusions in various registers, and effectively editing our own and each others’ work.
