Assignment I
Assignment II
Assignment III
Case Study
Due Monday April 21, 2003

Based on our April 7th in-class discussion on veracity in Hip-hop, your assignment is to write a paper which analyzes the lyrics of a Hip-hop artist and their lives. Are there any inconsistencies in their lyrical message and their true persona? Describe how these inconsistencies (if any) play a role in Hip-hop culture -- both internally (inside the culture) and externally (the mainstream's perception of Hip-hop). Admittedly, much of this assignment builds off of our in-class discussion, please consult with one of your group members for more information.
