Description
Campus Conversations: RAP The Poetry of Hip-Hop by New College: The Andrew A. Mellon Foundation Grant
Event Details
New College of Florida and The Arts & Humanities Inititive Present
Rap: The Poetry of Hip-Hop Led by Professor Carl Shaw & alumnus Paul Loriston
Since its beginnings in the South Bronx of the 1970’s, rap music has been stigmatized, with few listeners appreciating the intense poetic artistry at work in the genre. It is, in fact, today’s most prominent and influential mode of poetry, with complex rhythm, rhyme, wordplay, style, and storytelling. Our discussion will look at the history, content and, above all, the sophisticated poetics at play in today’s rap music.
This event is made possible by a generous grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
