About this listen
From its inception, hip-hop has challenged ideas about morality, religion, and truth. Genuinely, it’s a philosophical genre. Both philosophers and hip-hop artists think about God, death, and justice, among other things. But rarely do members of these two groups talk to one another about these issues. This is a shame, given that both hip-hop and philosophy have a rich history in deep thinking and have produced exemplary thinkers.
Join Howard University scholar Dr. Brandon Hogan as he moderates a fascinating conversation between hip-hop and academic philosophy. Starting with a deep look at what defines both of them, he examines how certain artists and philosophers embrace the same principles. Then, over a series of thought-provoking episodes, you’ll explore how famous philosophers and infamous hip-hop artists have grappled with such timeless themes as good and evil, free will, poverty and wealth, and the ethics of humility. Dr. Hogan will invite you to consider what the Notorious B.I.G. would have to say to ancient Greek philosophers. He will also show you how KRS-One and N.W.A. reflect contemporary academic theories of criminal punishment.
Hip-hop and philosophy often help us to cope with life, death, and injustice and allow us to think more precisely about our place in the world. More important, hip-hop and philosophy enrich each other and should be appreciated together. By gaining a deeper insight into both, you will gain a deeper understanding of some of the most pressing challenges that confront society today.

Story3 out of 5 stars 42
Fresh off the success of her groundbreaking first play, A Raisin in the Sun, Lorraine Hansberry's The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window tells the tragicomic story of a young bohemian couple in New York's Greenwich Village, struggling to do what's right in a world that rewards everything that's wrong. Sidney is a dreamer who wants his own Walden Pond; Iris is a budding actress whose own backstory is a performance. They're caught in a moment where, "the world is about to crack right down the middle," as the play tackles racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, liberal complacency, and more.

The very strange but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a 1960s hippie utopia. Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day.

No one other than Warren Zanes, rocker and writer and friend, could author a book about Tom Petty that is as honest and evocative of Petty's music and the remarkable rock and roll history he and his band helped to write. Born in Gainesville, Florida, with more than a little hillbilly in his blood, Tom Petty was a Southern shit kicker, a kid without a whole lot of promise. Rock and roll made it otherwise.

Monster stories aren’t just meant to entertain. They’re meant to inform, even educate. Above all, they ask us to question our own humanity. Nowhere is this truer than in stories of serial killers. What are the origins of this monstrous archetype? Why are we so fascinated with such gruesome terror? What do they reveal about our fears and anxieties? Explore these and other questions in Serial Killers: Real and Imagined, where public scholar Emily Zarka looks at the serial-killer trope across history, from murky 17th-century legends to 21st-century true-crime obsessions.

Interacting with people at work can be one of life’s greatest joys—and greatest frustrations. Some coworkers never trust us to do our jobs, or never respond to requests for information, or waste our time with dozens of unnecessary emails. The cost: our work results and personal sanity. How can you approach workplace interactions with more empathy and less resentment? How can you become more successful when working with “annoying” or “difficult” coworkers?

Yes. Listen to it.
I did not give this 5 stars because it was too short. Every lecture is a banger. It's worth your time. The last lecture had me entranced. This could be so much deeper. Please, Great Courses, pass the mic back to Mr. Hogan.

Interesting ~ didn’t agree with it all, but learned a lot!
Very well put together and articulated. Hip hop isn’t my normal genre, but I came across this today and decided to give it a chance. Love how it laid it all out there and explained with examples. Learned so much and came to the end with an appreciation and knowledge about the hip hop culture! Great lecture series.

Good stuff
Informative because the author uses relatable current examples from hip hop to explain abstract historical philosophical texts.
