Those who long for a traditional high school or college curriculum, particularly when they never experienced one, might not appreciate the internal conflicts that plague multicultural education.
"Many Hip Hop pedagogies, from Alim's critical Hip Hop language pedagogies (2004) to Emdin's work on Hip Hop and science education (2010), for example, argue for the use of rap battles--improvised verbal duels--in classroom learning," Django Paris and H. Samy Alim write in the book Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies. "Yet few take up the fact that the Hip Hop battle can sometimes be a masculinist space that excludes young women, queer youth, and young men of color who do not identify as Black (even as young women, queer youth, and youth who are not Black continue to 'roc the mic')."
"CSP (Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies )must contend with the possibility that Hip Hop pedagogies that utilize rap battles (as one among many examples of Hip Hop pedagogical practices) may seemingly serve the needs of many students of color, particularly young, able-bodied, cis-hetero men, but may unwittingly reproduce forms of exclusion in our classrooms and communities. (For example, the field rarely produces gendered analyses of classroom participation when using Hip Hop.)"
Alim works at UCLA and Paris toils at Michigan State. By the way, according to the Urban Dictionary, a cishetero man is "A heterosexual person whose gender aligns with what they were assigned at birth." Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies is published by the Teachers College Press at Columbia University.
RAP: Retarded African Poetry.
Rhyming like a third-grader.
Wow....wtf is this idiot blabbering about?
Clearly, there are wayyyyy too many people in this world with not enough to do....
Hip hop is proof that evolution in music does not always create better music (or even music).
We cannot flush soon enough.
The future of hiphop has been a burning issue for no Americans since...never.
“Yet few take up the fact that the Hip Hop battle can sometimes be a masculinist space that excludes young women, queer youth, and young men of color who do not identify as Black (even as young women, queer youth, and youth who are not Black continue to ‘roc the mic’).”
WTF does that even mean??? That has to be one of the most nonsensical things I have read... young men of color who do not identify as black... what do they identify as???? dogs? cats? cars?
There were a few white idiots in the early days too.
There are a multitude of creatively expensive and embarrassingly edgy methods to waste a student’s time and add nothing of practical value to their skill set.
...But wait, there’s more!
Allow me to express my opinion as clearly as possible:
“The -—k?”
I took a couple of Master’s level Pedagogy courses in college. Neither had anything to do with Hip Hop.
Because flinging insults like apes fling feces is such a very effective way of elucidating the good, the true, and the beautiful.
This is what you do when you’re not good at anything else. The government will provide because these people will never earn their own keep.
What?
I saw a guy rap green eggs and ham.
Dr. Seuss was the greatest rap writer that ever lived.
“Dr. Seuss was the greatest rap writer that ever lived.”
Yes, he was, but he never tried to make himself appear to be a tough guy for it.
This should give them something to talk about for a few decades while the adults get real work done.
In order to accommodate “diversity”, some academics propose that hip-hop and rap music be used as a literary source. But other SJWs are complaining that hip-hop and rap aren’t inclusive enough for their pet diversity beneficiaries.
The author did a very poor job of presenting the basis for the article, at least in the excerpt.
I remember when Jesse Jackson read it on SNL.
What about Nipsey Russell?
Have seen instances where the ‘black kid’ wasn’t getting math.
One day his brother sat him down and said
“If Kawahingabunka had 3 grams of coke and he wanted to cut it to 400 tablets...etc...etc...etc...”
And the kid who couldn’t count to 21 even if he dropped trou, suddenly turned into a math genius..
“Either ‘The Wire’ or ‘The Corner’.
