For someone to have never gone to college, let alone never completed high-school. To have a college course solely focusing on you as an entertainer is MAJOR!!! Noted educator and author, Michael Eric Dyson, is now teaching a class at the prominent Georgetown University, based solely on Jay Z. The course, “Sociology of Hip-Hop: Jay-Z” is a 3 credit course offered this semester. The course covers Jay-Z’s book “Decoded,” Adam Bradley’s “Book of Rhymes,” Zack O'Malley Greenburg’s “Empire State of Mind,” as well as other articles and films about hip-hop in general. Regarding the course Dyson states “We look at his incredible body of work, we look at his own understanding of his work, we look at others who reflect upon him, and then we ask the students to engage in critical analysis of Jay-Z himself,” I know that closed quickly. To be able to discuss your favorite rapper for 3 hours and receive college credit is dope! Peep the video above as Dyson speaks on it briefly. more
