Week 1 - Welcome to Hip-hop in Popular Culture

Welcome to the class blog for Hip-hop in Popular Culture, Spring 2012. This course explores the ways that Hip-hop music and Culture has influenced American Popular culture over the past 30 years. This blog is a site to engage the key words and theories that we will discuss in lecture and class discussion time. You will have the opportunity to post a critically engaged comment on the theory, visual and aural texts we utilize for this course. I look forward to reading your responses and guiding you on this amazing journey this semester. Best- Professor NHP
