This fall, Georgetown University launched its first-ever class devoted to the popular rapper, "Sociology of Hip Hop: Jay-Z," with a syllabus promising units on "Hustling Hermeneutics" and the “Monster of the Double Entendre.” The course is taught by Michael Eric Dyson, a sociologist with 18 books under his belt, ranging from historical assessments of Martin Luther King to ruminations on the impact of Tupac.
