For example: I have had several students write about the history of rap. This history includes background on the emergence of rap in urban America as a political event or cultural critique. Most of these papers began and ended with rap in America. I might then take a look at the rise of rap as a political movement throughout the world. In this case I would probably choose a music video from another country that best exemplifies the power of rap and the images presented. This is just an example. There are many genres of music.
Choose what intrigues you most. The class will be watching the videos .
