Should hip hop be taught as literature?

Answer 1

no hip hop should not be taught in literature because it sets a bad example. It discriminates women, people's culture and racial features. Although women sleep with a man and marries another meaning 1/10 of children don't know their father, it sets a bad example for children. Even its fashion is being taken care of. people wearing sagging pants are given a fine up to 500 or a 6 month sentence in Delcambre, Louisiana, a town of 80 miles southwest of Baton Rouge. Another town is Mansfield, fines offenders up to $150 and 15 days in the slammer. According to the esteemed mayor, "this new law will set a good civic image." The success in passing these dress codes has inspired other communities to follow suit.

Answer 2

Yes, hip hop can be taught as literature as it often contains complex themes, poetic devices, and storytelling techniques that can be analyzed and appreciated in an academic setting. By including hip hop in literature curriculums, educators can broaden students' perspectives on what constitutes literature and provide a platform for discussing important social, cultural, and political issues.
