Last class we only had a chance to watch one of the videos I had planned to watch during our discussion of the globalization, hip hop, and the politics of resistance. (I would say it was unfortunate we only watched one video, but the reason was discussion was lively enough we didn’t have time, which is a good thing!). We did watch the Queen Latifah video “Ladies First”, which is discussed in the Kelley reading, and is posted on the weekly schedule page. Here are the other videos and clips I was planning on showing, as well as a could suggestions from students in class:

– A Way of life (by Industry #1) – A story of hip hop globalization
