Hip Hop Aesthetics

This graduate-level course examines aesthetics in hip hop culture and production from the 1970s to the present.

Getting Started

Hip Hop is inherently interdisciplinary and requires diving into a range of source formats and locations.

Consider asking:

  • What is considered a primary source for your topic?
  • What kind of source is considered evidence for your topic?
  • Who may have created or contributed to this source?
  • Who may have collected or preserved this source? Where might you find access to it?

Remember YOU are the scholar creating new investigations and insights. The evidence you use for your argument is not always traditional scholarship.
