Ive never had a teacher or professor refer to hip hop as a subject in the classroom, but I have used hip hop as a subject in my papers that I have written over the years

The history of hip hop reflects pretty directly with what is going on in society throughout the years. Im a student from the Louisiana, and my 11th grade history teacher used hip hop to help us learn various points in recent history

Thats great to hear that you had a teacher who used hip hop as a reference for poetry. Could you maybe get a little more specific as to what songs you guys used, and how it related to the subject of poetry

If you look at some of the topics used in hip hop songs and rap songs, they pretty much are dealing with outside factors such as the economy or racial situations.

Hip hop and rap are both genre's of music greatly enjoyed by much of today's youth. To use it in the classroom would be a great idea, and would only further the interest of students class.

Hip hop and rap are music that relate nothing to the classroom. I feel they should be left out, this will just ruin our school systems

Hip hop influences todays youth in a giant way. The way we dress, and even the way we talk. In a business class I took last year we spent an extensive period of time discussing hip hop and how it is just a giant business.
