Harvard officials say Obasi Shaw is the first student in the university’s history to submit a rap album as a senior thesis in the English department.

Shaw is from an Atlanta suburb and describes his album as a moody take on what it means to be black in America.

Rap and hip-hop have drawn growing academic interest from colleges, some of which now offer minors in hip-hop studies.

Any supervisor who doesn’t yet understand that there are two types of degrees/diplomas (white/Asian male ones and everything else) is in for a lot of disappointment if they accept the latter as having any meaning.

Harvard is a joke. A degree is worth nothing.

Costs big bucks for Whitey, free for all America-hating low achievers.

I am almost down with this. If I am reading it correctly, this is a “senior thesis” for a four-year degree, not anything higher. I can see an entire album being equal to a term paper. If it’s well-written and not like disco or somesuch.

Political correctness has denigrated the great Harvard University to a level lower than most local community colleges.
IF you’re a young person and really wanna make some bucks? Can you learn to weld? Do it. Get into the oil/gas business and within a few years, you’ll make more money than these stupid, low-low-acheiving punks will make in a lifetime. Have a good attitude and work ethic. Learn everything you can about the business. You do NOT need a Harvard degree, or any degree, to make it.....IF you got the right focus, ambition and proper attitude.

Outside of Pure and Applied Science and Medicine a degree from Harvard is crap.

Oh, he’ll be a Doctor of fast-talk/singing Rhymification in no time. Why, he’ll be wearing shoulder dangles on his Harvard uniform.

Harvard (from which I hold a science Ph.D.) has been lowering its standards in order to cater to the “minority”, Third World, and muslim communities!!!!

It also has a feminazi president who should have retired several years ago, and hatches swarms of misinformed snowflakes who come out to to protest Trump every weekend!!!!

The cracked rap-album “thesis” deserves a big fat F!!!! PHOOEY!!!!
