Temple University will launch a new class in Fall 2025 that focuses on rapper Kendrick Lamar and his music.
The course is called “Kendrick Lamar and the Morale of M.A.A.D City.” The course is set to explore his songs, lyrics, and the impact he has made in music and society.
The course will look at important topics in Kendrick’s music, such as life struggles, identity, violence, hope, and the Black experience in America. His album ‘good kid, m.A.A.d city’ will be a big part of the study.
Kendrick Lamar is known for using his music to tell powerful stories about real-life issues. This new class shows that hip-hop is being taken seriously in education. Other big schools like Harvard have also offered courses on famous rappers in the past.
Many people online are reacting to the news with excitement and even jokes. One person commented, “The devil works hard, Lucian works harder,” showing how quickly music news spreads and sparks fun online.
The class is expected to be popular, and it might open doors for more music-related courses in the future. Temple University is showing that music can be a strong way to learn about culture and life.
