dr michael eric dyson somewhere punchin the air he could have been jumped on this... but he wanna chase white girls
his books are terrible. I promised to never read or buy another one again. He tries so hard to sound smart on subjects that don't require it. His book on Nas' Illmatic was one of the worst hip hop books I've ever read. Essays of him trying to create an academic dissertation about a 10 track album seemed forced. And I have an entire book case of hip hop books, but that joint wasn't it.

It's for the African American history department. Does learning about Compton and the policies and history that shaped the individuals and music produced from that area not fall in with the general area of study? One elective in 120 hours of course work?

When I think of African American history, I think of the history of redlining, riots, police brutality, segregated communities, and various other subjects that are exemplified in a place like Compton.

Very important actually. Most music lecturers teach about Kendrick, because if you wanna make the best music possible, you need to teach about those who managed to master and comprehend music perfectly.

So you mad a black artist is getting a in-depth class on his lyrics :mjpls:
Did you have that same energy when Lupe was teaching a class on hip hop or when Bun was doing the same thing:mjpls:
It’s funny how this dude got y’all coming out yall panties like this
There is a whole tragic mulatto thread who imitates culture while being a suing Mafioso
Take your goofy ass in there and run around Target listening to his music beloved:mjpls:
