OK, I lied. I am going to show you a few slides (I promise no more than five) at the start of our class Thursday, as one topic that we won't dedicate a whole session to but that is quite important as we recognize ourselves as cultural workers, not just missives of lesson plans: cultural appropriations.
And MHP breaks it down beautifully, relative to the Harlem Shake here.
And here's one of the best pieces I've read in a long time on hip hop, African American English, and the deeply fluid nature of language and culture. It's accessible and worth the time spent with it (of course, I think everything we read merits that, but still).
