Class is a Rap

“I was fortunate enough to take a very interesting class on music, more specifically Hip-Hop. The class was titled “Hip-Hop, Jazz, and Blues.” This is the second term that it has been included into the Bates curriculum and it has not disappointed one bit. The class is led by English professor, Robert Strong, who introduces many connections with blues, jazz, and Hip-Hop music.We read a lot of material such as Sonny’s Blues, poems from various authors and poets. We also watched Do The Right Thing, a film directed by Spike Lee.”
