Starting to think seriously about a second edition of @listeningtorap. I’d encourage you to follow the book’s IG page if you’re interested: listening_to_rap

Among the updates I’m considering (aside from obvious updating music and scholarship):

—Making the book more high-school friendly. This means really working on the language, developing more assignments/lesson plans, and aligning it with common core standards

—Adopting a very explicit anti-racist framework

—Including a new chapter on rap in music videos/film
