Publication Type: Panelist Abstract Abstract: Hip-Hop has become a major focus in more recent academic discourse. Many critics see the culture of Hip-Hop as a problem, especially among the younger generation. In academic writing, it has expressed itself even more prominently as Hip-Hop slang and vernacular flow across the pages. However, Hip-Hop is the language of today. It has crossed the distinctions of race, class, gender, and ethnicity. The issue, however, lies between reconciling the use of Hip-Hop vernacular and critical writing. Many students today try to understand texts and literature that they find “out-dated”—that they do not feel they can relate to. Consequently, they interpret the literature into a language they can understand; the language of Hip-Hop. The problem, thus, is not that students do not understand how to write academically but rather, they lack the tools to understand literature and then re-interpret that literature into an academic discourse. In this sense, Hip-Hop becomes a useful tool, not for writing about literature, but for giving students a context through which they can understand the literature and then write about it in a more academic form. This presentation will explore the various ways in which Hip-Hop can be used in the classroom to help students make sense of the texts they are reading and then interpret that text to fit a more formal, academic discourse. Using various theories, such as “cutting and pasting” and comparative analysis accompanied with actual Hip-Hop lyrics, this presentation will demonstrate the ways in which Hip-Hop can be used to help students learn to read and respond critically.
