Specifically Hip Hop, as I've become moreso aware of some who do, as evidenced by this at www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_rkGmsTqIA. I will say that I am not a fan of Black intellectuals who write and/or lecture about Hip Hop from solely an Ivory Tower stance and while musicologists are also intellectuals, I can't see Dyson, Watkins, Rose, and any others who seem to have a surface level fanboy and/or fangirl fascination with the music/culture as being the voices of reason for a culture that was never purported to be "pro-education" but at the same time I give Rose her props for "Black Noise," which I personally discovered 13 years later and it changed the way I felt and approached Hip Hop. What musicologists do you think get writing about Black music/culture right and/or wrong? I dig Regina N. Bradley and Guthrie P. Ramsey.
