The class examines the sociology of hip-hop through the life of one of America's most famous artists.

The Washington Post reports:

The class addresses social issues like race, gender and ethnicity, according to professor Michael Eric Dyson.

Dyson wrote a book on hip-hop in 2007. In the foreword Jay-Z called Dyson “the most brilliant interpreter of hip-hop culture we have."
