I'm taking an "Introduction to Hip Hop" class this semester and it's so frustrating. I thought I was signing up for in-depth intellectual debates with peers about Hip Hop. Instead, I find myself as an old head in a class full of apathetic and brain dead little kids. I didn't realize how out of touch I was with music until I started this class. Chief Keef still makes music? Drake is considered conscious rap? Please help me grasp it because when I think of HIP HOP, I think of Cyhi Da Prince, Syri tha Kid, J.Cole, Kendrick, etc. At most, these young tenderonies know J.Cole, Wale and Kendrick...but they don't even realize what else their minds are missing! Let alone what they are truly poisoning their minds with. Worse than my classmates, my professor is so brutally honest and blunt that he generalizes the entire class into a clump of coal that doesn't think for themselves! I just can't. Like. Can't. I returned to school in a campus setting because I wanted warm classmates and professors and not screennames and endless cold emails. I don't know. It's like these kids haven't found who they are yet and don't even want to look....I just wish I could pick classes with only older, non-traditional students. I'd feel better about commenting in class. I hateeee when my comment shuts down the topic at hand or summons silence and puzzled expressions from my classmates. Am I too deep for this class? Or am I the type of student that my professor wanted in his class? I regret not dropping it at this point because I feel like I'm wasting time. Next week, I'm not saying ANYTHING. Maybe I won't go...shoot, that nigga doesn't take attendance anyways! Lol
