if they have classes on tai chi, rock & roll 101, history of jazz, film analysis......a class on hip-hop ain't a stretch. Once something becomes as prevalent in the pop culture mainstream as hip-hop has, this is just a byproduct.

And if I was a college student just looking to get a few credits and was up to date on my core courses, I'd take whatever class on hip-hop they were offering......and then cause trouble the entire semester and generally start arguments to antagonize the professor who I'd probably swear I knew more on the subject than.
