Hey, everybody. Many of you know that very soon, Renegade University will begin its webinar,

Talkin' Shit, The History of Hip Hop, taught by the great Kamasi Hill. Many of you know him from his unregistered appearance.

And if you're an RU member, you will know him as the co-instructor of Talkin' Shit, the History of African-American

culture, which was a huge hit, and many people demanded that Kamasi teach another course

on hip-hop, one of his specializations. Kamasi has a Ph.D. in African-American theology

and culture from Northwestern. He has been teaching black history, African-American history,

for about 20 years now.

Nobody knows this better. And nobody has a more sophisticated and intelligent and fascinating

and entertaining take on the history of hip hop from its roots in the basement of a public

housing project in the South Bronx to its position today as the

most popular art form in the world. Hip-hop dominates the world, and Kamasi is going to tell you

how that happened. So go to renegadeuniversity.com. It'll be there on the first page. The seminar, the webinar,

begins on January 26th. It meets for three Tuesdays beginning January 26th at 8.30 p.m. Eastern,

5.30 p.m. Pacific time. Go to Renegadeuniversity.com. Check it out. Sign up. And I'm going to be taking it as a student, so I will see you in

class.

These are the things you're not supposed to say or even think if you're a good
