This episode is an African Studies palaver about teaching hip-hop-related courses at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). The discussion focused on approaching hip hop studies from African-centered perspectives, as well as the impact of those courses being taught at HBCUs on their structure and content.

Leading the discussion are hip-hop professors/activists, who are teaching hip-hop-related courses and participating in important dialogues within hip-hop studies.
