The analytical lens extends beyond rap music, school curricula, and African American adolescents to include other creative activities such as dance, graffiti art, DJing, spoken word poetry, music production, and hip-hop based organizations on campus.College campuses have become rich sites of hip-hop culture and knowledge production.
