Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Yo Mister Cee, the people feel threatened! Soliciting prostitutes is illegal and this is the second time your private affairs have been publicized. Get some help...and a room! —B.Dot

Shout out to Tricia Rose’s two publications being a part of the curriculum. She came up here to Minnesota to speak a few years ago at a college and I was very inspired. She’s inspired me to get into hip-hop journalism. If you’re a true fan of the culture and care about reading about hip-hop music and African-American culture’s position within it, etc, you should really read those books.
Also, look up Tricia Rose . A very educated individual who cares about the music and art form on a literary level…
Thanks…
i would love to take this course it would be better than the civil war & reconstruction course i’m in now :( my school needs a hip hop course bad!
Got my January reading list!
