About this course
MUS122 traces the creation and evolution of Hip-Hop Culture from the 1970s to the present. The transition of rap music from counter-culture, to sub-culture, to mainstream culture will be explored. Hip-Hop cultural elements including, but not limited to, graffiti, breakdancing (rockin? and pop-lockin?), fashion, sexism/misogyny, racism, immigration, poverty, politics, urban planning, media, gender, and American foreign relations will inform the exploration of the world of Hip-Hop. Credit will be granted for MUS109 or MUS122 but not both.
