Hip hop and education are often two things that are never compared; however there are many ways that they can be used to assist each other. The article I am focusing on today is Paulo Freire’s study around student participation. Focusing on hip hop encourages students to take a step back and re examine their views around race, religion, gender, socioeconomic class, sexuality, and other things that they may not stop to focus on. Hip hop gives the freedom of speech to talk about experiences that many people do not have to go through. A lot of the time these experiences talking about social or racial inequality in particular, resonate with a lot of students. It is very important to not brush off Critical Hip Hop Pedagogy, and instead try to incorporate it into everyday learnings and teachings in order to teach students, as well as ourselves about different perspectives. An example of this is the broadway play, Hamilton. It changes the narrative of history, by adding a hip hop twist to the historical story. Many of the characters were also casted to African American actors, casting black people into historically white roles, like society has been doing for years by casting the roles meant to be played by people of colour to white actors. It is a great way of changing the narrative in a new and more relatable way.
