- A new wave of educators and cultural workers influenced by Hip-Hop culture, technology, and globalization have emerged in recent years. The first wave began in the early 90s with a little over a dozen artists, scholars, and entrepreneurs who grew up with Hip-Hop. Today, we have hundreds of teachers, artists, scholars, social workers, social entrepreneurs, and administrators in K-12 and institutions of higher learning who are able to serve as an inter-generational cultural bridge. Whether Hip-Hop culture is used inside the classroom to teach a subject, serve as a hook to teach a lesson, or as an academic subject itself, vocation, or art form, teachers from all backgrounds are integrating it into their curriculum as a liberatory, critical, and culturally relevant and responsive pedagogical tool. Like other educational fields, Hip-Hop Education practitioners aim to meet youth where they are and employ all resources at their disposal to improve the students’ plight.Tricia Rose at Brown UniversityMichael Eric Dyson at Georgetown University9th Wonder at Duke UniversityBun B has been guest lecturing at Rice University for a class called Religion and Hip Hop Culture In America.

- A new wave of educators and cultural workers influenced by Hip-Hop culture, technology, and globalization have emerged in recent years.

- FIRST NATIONAL REPORT ON HIP-HOP EDUCATION THAT highlights Hip-Hop courses and programs that improve attendance, increase student engagement, prepare students for college and access to college, prevent drop-out for students at risk for school failure, reconnect out-of-school youth to school (drop-in), and provide character education (e.g., building self-esteem, citizenry, leadership), including mentoring or sports and recreation programs. NARRATIVE THAT ILUSTRATES HOW EDUCATION is embedded throughout Hip-Hop history, making the study of its culture, leaders, literature, music, movies, and artifacts essential to the exploration and growth of Hip-Hop education movement. In communities around the nation, youth are learning to organize and build community, collaborate on music, publish books, start businesses through Hip-Hop. Not enough prominence is given to the ways that Hip-Hop-based education and pedagogy can be used to transform our society. Hip-Hop culture has rendered a movement that is intimately accessible, educational, visceral and real.
- Program structures: Hip hop programs are focusing on writing and oral skills development
- 82 include a performance as part of their curriculum, while developing a product was the least integrated component with 56%. We assumed that developing a product requires additional resources and funding.
- Fifty-five cities are represented in the survey including major cities such as New York, San Francisco, Atlanta, and Houston, and smaller cities such as Irvine, CA, Saratoga Springs, NY, and Evanston, IL. The average state that participated only had 1 or 2 programs. Although the census was predominantly focused in the U.S., there were participants representing Canada, China, Russia, South Africa, Singapore, Germany, Uganda, Australia, New Zealand, and Brazil. Nearly 10% of the courses and programs are in middle school classrooms, 21% in high schools, 14% in colleges and 22% include other settings within school. 37% are in after school programs, 2% Saturday programs, 3% summer camps, and 37% other settings outside of school. The other settings include juvenile correctional facilities, town halls, religious congregations, and human rights forum.
- 81% or 150 programs serve youth between 14-18 years of age, while 115 programs serve youth between 19-22 years of age. This demonstrates that Hip-Hop programs are mostly serving early to late adolescent youth, high school age students with college age students coming in second, not necessarily attending school.
- The most frequently youth being served are African American and Latinos, while Native Americans were the least served. We assume that reaching different populations, especially those in rural areas and reservations, requires additional resources and funding.
