Hip-hop emerged from the local scenes of New York City to become the most popular and lucrative art form in the world.

This course will also examine Hip-Hop themes related to race, gender, and class. Overall, this course will help explain how an obscure art form emerged from urban communities to become the global musical language for the seemingly dispossessed—and now a staple of mainstream pop culture.
