Hip Hop & Social Issues: Exit Interviews 2014


Hip Hop & Social Issues: Exit Interviews 2014
YouTube: click here


Video Filmed & Produced by Jakeem Kino Daniel
Directed by Jakeem & Justin De Senso
Music by IV the Polymath

This video exemplifies hip hop's power as a tool for transformative learning and pedagogy.  The students in this video took Justin De Senso's "Hip Hop & Social Issues" course at the University at Buffalo (UB) in either the spring or fall of 2013.  This course was first established at UB by Dr. Kush "B" and the university is forever in his debt.  The footage from the Cornell Hip Hop Collection was filmed during the fall of 2013 with the permission of Collection curator Ben Ortiz.  Above all, the purpose of this video is to give students of hip hop voice and permanence amid a necessary and growing culture of hip hop instruction in higher education across the globe.       

Peace,
Justin De Senso
