By Amir Said (Sa’id)

For several years, 9th Wonder has been teaching a college level course on hip hop culture. And this past spring, he, along with fellow Duke University professor Mark Anthony Neal, began heading up a course dedicated to soul music and the ways in which it’s sampled and re-used in hip hop/rap music. This video, which was captured by Maestro (Maestro Knows) at Duke University, is most likely footage of 9th Wonder leading one of those classes.

It’s about time that modern music is getting the learning stick. It took forever for other new forms of entertainment, and I suppose it will keep taking that long in the future.
