A college course on Kendrick Lamar’s impact on hip-hop, providing an “in-depth Africological analysis” of the popular rapper’s life, is set to be taught at Temple University in Philadelphia this fall.
“Kendrick Lamar and the Morale of M.A.A.D City” will be taught at the Pennsylvania campus by Africology and African American Studies Assistant Professor Timothy Welbeck this upcoming fall semester. Lamar, a deft lyricist whose performances at the 2016 Grammys and Super Bowl LIX halftime this past February has provided pointed commentary on the experiences of Black people in America, he said.
