Producer 9th Wonder wants Hip Hop in colleges

Grammy-winning producer 9th Wonder wants to bring Hip Hop to a college near you.

The producer will teach a class on Hip Hop at Harvard University after being accepted into the Harvard Fellows Program in March of last year.

He spoke on the lack of Hip Hop in upper education , especially in Historically Black Colleges.

"It's incredible to me that they don't study (Hip Hop) at every Black College," he said. "I think that it's just a sign of times, man. It happened with Jazz. Jazz was studied somewhere else first. African-studies was studied somewhere else first. At some point we have to break that cycle. There are some: Florida A&M, North Carolina AT&T State University, And then you have some that don't want that because they think that we're gonna teach about what happened on BET last night."

9th Wonder will present his research at Harvard University on February 6th.
