the papers, the papers
spent most of the weekend grading papers for the brown class.
yeah, grading papers is a chore. but it could be worse: at least i get to read essays with such tantalizing titles as:
"Is Gwen Strapped for Cash, or Just a Music Klepto?"
"Gimme Dat Jimmy Hat: A Look at Attitudes Towards Condom Use in Hip-hop Music"
"Will Hyphy Last?"
"The Last Taboo: Homosexuality and Hip-hop"
"Toronto's Unique Social Landscape and Hip-hop"
"Ghetto Feminism"
"Reggaeton Is Here To Stay"
"Hip-hop and the Global Consumerist Empire"
and my favorite,
"The Best Rappers Are From Brooklyn, Period"
in some cases, the titles were more inspired than the papers, though quite a bit can be blamed on microsoft word's thesaurus-function and the ivy-league proclivity for $5 words. (did i say proclivity? i meant, penchant.)

What is a Hyphy???
My ivy league edumacation only goes as far as the extension portion...so, please explain. I would also like a paradigm, if possible. ;-)
Hyphy is when you get loud and act fool and start dancing. That's hyphy. IT's comes from the bay area!
word. appreciate you fellas dropping some knowledge and representing for the yay. that's some hardcore shit, though - "gig on ur grave" - dang. y'all don't play.
i love when posts have an afterlife thanks to a popular search term.

afterlife, indeed.
just for the record, the student who wrote the paper was also from the bay. but i can't remember how he answered the title's question. frankly, the question was more rhetorical than anything, but if the paper demonstrated one thing - as do y'all's comments - it was that the bay has a vibrant, distinctive hip-hop scene with plenty promise of further growth.
no doubt. but when we gonna hear some hyphy on national radio?
You festa hear some hyphy right now my nigga!
