Class is in session at the University of Dope, a disrespectful game for hip hop lovers cuz your favorite rapper is trash. On a posse cut of greats from the last 80s, Rakim comes out on top and our discussion stalls between a verbal portrait of the ghetto and an NBA player getting robbed. https://youtu.be/vLCp45EjByI

I cancel class to appreciate the view and discuss in no detail the death of OJ Simpson. The NFL Hall of Fame running back was a celebrity long before he interrupted a Knicks-Rockets playoff game. I answer a few questions and declare Late Registration as prime.  https://youtu.be/UXacFceyGfY

Class is in session where we remember songs that introduced late 20th century America to house music, discuss being stranded at a Lauryn Hill show she has to attend, and a scholar correctly defines someone as an "intellectual French Montana". https://youtu.be/z95RDENy7Y0
