Sorry, looking back on that last post, that was a little off-topic, huh?

Anyway, to tie it back in, I could see someone not knowing about some older hip-hop IF it hasn't aged well through the years, but I agree that not knowing "Rapper's Delight", "Ya Mama", "Humpty Dance", "Insane in the Brain", "Can I Kick It?" or something equally as memorable is straight... up... WACK.

Yeah, I think it would be weak for someone to actually have to go to school to learn hip-hop. BUT for a while, I was thinking about starting a college curriculum on hip hop, and even tried to kick out a fake "course schedule". You know:
I) Origins - Jamaica, "Toasters", Sound Systems, Funk, etc.
II) New York - each section of the "4 Elements" (criticism thereon to be brought up later in the class), cyphers, the "community" feel and self-expression angle, early films involving hip-hop, sampling & Biz Markie's legal troubles over "Alone Again"
III) The West Coast response in LA & the "Gangster Rap" revolution - "East Coast" vs. "West Coast", branching out into rock, critical reaction from media, parents
IV) Hip Hop explosion - Dirty South, Crunk, Hyphy, Philly, etc.
V) Sidenote: DJs vs. keyboards vs. computers vs. live bands - what is hip hop?
VI) The media perception turnaround - emphasis switches from censorship to increase in marketability, "radio" rap, "ringtone" rap
VII) "Underground" / "Alternative" / "Throwback" / DIY emergence - backlash against commercial rap

Listening Section:
(and this would probably have some 8-10 required listening tracks, and 20-30 "further listening" tracks, PER CLASS PERIOD) - for instance, early classes would include Fatback ("King Tim III"), Sugarhill Gang ("Rapper's Delight"), Beastie Boys (their transition from punk to hip hop), Boogie Down ("The Bridge is Over"), etc.
