“…The creation and examination of each student’s rap in an undergraduate class ( The History of Rap ) served as an entry point into hip-hop culture. This served to gain an understanding of the value of studying rap through hip-hop culture and its impact upon students’ educational experiences (MacDonald & Viega, 2011; Tobias, 2014; Travis, 2016; Emdin et al, 2018; Karvelis, 2018).…”

“…#HipHopEd and #HipHopEd(ucators) provide educators opportunities to explore and gain an understanding of hip-hop’s potential in academia. This includes developing and improving education practices and the students’ education experience (Thibeault, 2010; Seidel, 2011; Travis & Maston, 2014; Emdin et al, 2018). #HipHopEd is a sociopolitical movement utilising ‘the utility of hip-hop as a theoretical framework and practical approach to teaching and learning’ (Emdin et al, 2018, p. 1).…”

An undergraduate music class was examined that incorporated the creation of students’ individual original raps. Research was conducted to understand the value of studying rap and its impact upon students’ education. This instrumental case study utilised students’ individual raps as an art-based research component to address three research questions: 1.) How, if at all, does studying hip-hop through the creation of a rap provide a transformative experience and growth in students? 2.) How are student experiences reflected in the use of music composition through the creation of an original rap? and 3.) How does the process of creating an original rap provide insight into students’ experiences?

“…Of course, there are many other ways that people can situate and narrate their experiences within hip-hop. Hip-hop pedagogies continue to flourish and expand (e.g., Emdin & Adjapong, 2018). As they do, understanding how personal biographies through hip-hop factor into these pedagogies will render a fuller picture of hip hop–based education practices and their potential impacts in classrooms.…”

Scholars have also expanded beyond arguments about academic engagement and theorized how the deeper aesthetics and justice commitments across hip-hop can conceptualize learning and methods (Davis, 2019;Jennings & Petchauer, 2017;Petchauer, 2015;Rawls & Robinson, 2019).…”

Hip-hop culture has been an influential force on a large segment of this generation’s teachers and a tool for building relationships with students. The contemporary hip-hop of today’s generation differs from that of many hip-hop educators/pedagogues. This case study explored how one hip-hop generation teacher attempted to cross this generational divide rather than discount youth culture in the classroom. The findings of this study focus on how the teacher’s personal identification with hip-hop culture informed his relationships with students and how he drew from key narratives and ideas in hip-hop to communicate his views of his classroom community.

Music Educators as DJs: Remixing Teaching With Hip-Hop

To investigate how music educators engage their students with Hip-Hop, we adopted a “research remix” approach, combining elements of case study and constructivist grounded theory. This approach allowed us to privilege Hip-Hop culture and to construct new understandings about Hip-Hop teaching and learning. Six elementary and middle school music teachers implemented Hip-Hop-focused instruction in their classrooms while also attending professional development workshops. Data included videos of classroom instruction, participant interviews, and videos of the workshops with co-facilitation from Hip-Hop artists and the researchers. Educators encountered tensions and challenges related to a perceived Hip-Hop “realness” and a lack of musical and pedagogical skills. To address these challenges, participants remixed their approaches by blending elements of Hip-Hop music and culture with their established teaching strategies. Teachers’ dispositions and feedback from students and colleagues engendered critical reflections about their positionalities in relation to Hip-Hop. We constructed a visual model of a DJ as a metaphor to describe participants’ approaches to remixing their teaching with Hip-Hop within their contexts. Implications include a need for increased emphasis on Hip-Hop in U.S. music teacher education programs and institutional pathways for Hip-Hop musicians to become music educators.
