While at Hov’s charitable event two weeks ago, Dyson spoke to MTV about the class. YN would make one helluva of a T.A.





Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot

[...] College Class On Jay-Z Published on October 12th, 2011 Hip Hop has moved to the cirriculum, well at least that’s the case at Georgetown University this Fall. Dr. Michael Eric Dyson is conducting a course revolving around Jay-Z. While at Hov’s charitable event two weeks ago, Dyson spoke to MTV about the class check the video below.

I’m officially transferring….
NICE !
I wonder how many classes will be spent studing ether.
this is why sociology can never be a science !!!
Reasonable Doubt is worthy of a course.
But is this course more focused on Jays accomplishments?
Either way, good job Dyson!
1 Tupac
2 Nas
3 Jay Z
Now it needs a Rakim and Dead Prez class.

thats an embarassment…if i went to a school that had a class about a rap artist i would not want people to know…
…… is an idiot. Georgetown is among the top universities in the United States. Eric Dyson thought it would have made a good course and the department head agreed.
OMG…where do i sign up to learn the impact of a Top 5 rapper w/ the least amount of substance…do I get extra credit for figuring out why a 40 year old still raps about “cooking in the kitchen”?? FOH
So……
This could be talked about in a music class. Where its relevant.
An entire class devoted to rap artists is just ridiculous imho.
But to truly make a determination, I’d have to see what the course work looks like.
good look. I wish every person that thinks they know hip-hop and hate on this man would have to take this class they could learn alot.
If they had a William L. Roberts class. Would it be Criminal Justice or Acting & Playwriting?
^LMAO!!!!
Jay-Z has substance, not all the time cause he wants to sell but listen to old Jigga and even on WTT he did Murder 2 Excellence and New Day = 2 of some of the best songs this year.
I dont get it. So you can have music courses for other genres like Jazz, Rock, Pop, and so on…but a course about Hip Hop is a bad idea? Or is it because its a course about one artist? That could be debated whether or not hats a bad idea but a course about Hip Hop has my vote.
This Dyson dude is a complete Fraud.This mutheafucker tried to turn the statements Bill Cosby made about what Black people name there kids into a book.GTFOH.
Yo YN, upload that Reema major video you know she’s THE ONE!!
@stop Yeah sociology may never be seen as a science but it has a lot more heart than the “sciences”….just take a Soc course and you will see.
jayz does it all…this is crazy..

G! Man I wish I could take that class. Jay-Z the real greatest rapper alive. Im currently reading Decoded. If you haven’t read that book, I highly recommend it. It shows why Jay is the best. JAY HOVA
im sick of this camel…
That’s a hell of way to fulfill your liberal arts pre req’s. Clap for em. Time to tell CSULA to kick rocks. Transfer!!!
Learning about jay-z isn’t going to help you in the real world! Take an elective course on something that can help you in life. I swear these so called “Black leaders” are more dangerous to us than the opposition is.
