Select a specific hip-hop artist or individual track that strongly interests you, and write a brief reflection exploring your example (300-380 words)
Considering Murray Forman’s initial frame of hip-hop studies (see the slides from Week 1 Thursday), we’d like you to examine at least one of the themes we have looked at it in class and have it inform your discussion.
To receive full credit, your reflection should go beyond fandom and focus on analysis; in other words, strive to explore both the cultural context and musical meaning.
Themes that we looked at in class consider
city
region
historical era
politics
