and there was very little study of hip hop history and such which is the misconception of these classes. It was more focused on cultural movements and fighting oppression, and how the cultural movement aspect of hip hop is in play today around the world. It was a very powerful class. but as far as just saying "kool herc did this. flash did that. then this happened. and then nwa said fuck the police..." it isnt like that at all

I dont think people can really have a valid opinion on this unless they have actually taken the classes. I know where you are comming from tho, but the hip hop class I took had very little to do with the music itself, it was about the cultural movement of it, and more about equality and racial issues in this country and around the world.

we were reading Paulo Freire in that mufugga
