“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’).”

Funny. My grandmother was saying that exact same thing yesterday at the nursing home

[eyeamok]

Why did I ever leave college, If I would have known the drugs would get this good, I would of stayed.

Does anybody here make sense of this drivel??

[Academiadotorg]

well, I don’t have evidence of that....

I am definitely NOT a rap fan but I do see now why my grandfather cringed every time Elvis showed up.

I listen to a lot of ‘Big Band’ music and when someone decided all that great music needed words, some of the ‘songs’ were atrocious.

Except the shock value of profanity and degradation were not being used in the 40s.

OTOH, ‘we’ collectively said give us some music where we can understand the words, and some genius said “they want to understand what we are saying? Try this....”

Rap music is the soundtrack of the retarded.

[bert]

Hip hop is not music

[Crucial]

This is why students don’t learn - too much distraction from the actual material.

[Rennes Templar]

“Wow....wtf is this idiot blabbering about?”

How could he be clearer? :

“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,”

Will they one day study the phenomenon of “Bro Country”?

They pretend they picked up rhyming toasts from the pimps in the neighborhood but they are too embarassed to admit it came from the playground taunts and jumprope songs of their older sisters babysitting them on the playground.

[ealgeone]

And I thought disco was bad.

[a fool in paradise]

Maybe we should be using sea shanties to teach science in classrooms instead of cisgendered racist rap battles...

[gundog]

Hip-hop is in a state of 9-1-1?

[a fool in paradise]

She means brown, red, and yellow men. White men need not apply, that would be cultural appropriation.

[deadrock]

Where is the new Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Miles Davies, BB King....? Of course all these world class blues artists were not disenfranchised by the Lords of poverty and welfare pimps.

[dfwgator]

Gary Clark Jr, is pretty good.

There were white label party records sold under the counter in the 30s-50s. Big names like the Sons of the Pioneers, the Clovers, and more. Some are on youtube.

Things weren’t done on the radio or tv or films. Some of it was done onstage in Vegas as a joke for adult audiences.

I’ve always wondered why the initial ‘c’ in (c)rap was silent.

[a fool in paradise]

Insert emoji of face staring in bug-eyed horror.

Whenever some guys get good at something (by some definition of good), then it's UNFAAAAIR to someone else.
Now they're taking away something that was created by black males, something that they could feel proud about.
Thanks to SJW's no one can have anything nice.
