- #critlib #critlibhh for example, while DJs had existed since the 60s, @DjKoolHerc birthed hip hop by not just mixing records together
- Originally I enjoyed hiphop as a consumer (Yo MTV Raps growing up!). That led me to Black feminism and anti-racism #critlib https://twitter.com/TheGnarrator/status/895092199045517312 …

- #critlibhh #critlib but rather, he took two copies of the records and looped (or played back to back seamlessly) the best parts
Was brand new lib when I attended 👇🏾& walked away w/ tons of ideas. More #libraries should consider incl this as PD #critlib pic.twitter.com/KVBkQ0tKnV- #critlibhh #critlib when digital sampling came around in the 80s, it was ultimately just an easier way to do what hh DJs had been doing

- Hip Hop appears in a keyword subject headings search - there's a lot of good titles out there to acquire #critlibhh #critlib
- Being exposed to ideas that are not in books that you can’t afford or don’t have access to is vital! #critlib #critlibhh #Diffusion #history
- @NicestLibrarian Other means of creation are not just a gateway for teaching academic discourse, can also shape conversation. #critlib #critlibhh
- Hip Hop Pedagogy "an examination of the way hip-hop constructs discourse, the way it produces..." #critlib #critlibhh
- "... rhetorical meaning through its complex method of digital sampling, and how such a rhetoric functions..." #critlib #critlibhh
- "...within the scope of argumentation" (Jeff Rice, 2003, p. 454) https://www.jstor.org/stable/3594173?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents … #critlib #critlibhh

- @NicestLibrarian @schomj @TheGnarrator @whosampled Samples might be great way to talk about citation / quotation / how new meanings can happen w/ reuse & new contexts. #critlib #critlibhh
- @foureyedsoul @NicestLibrarian @schomj @TheGnarrator @whosampled I would use Socrates, then Plato and then Aristotle—they were all remixing ideas….#critlib #critlibhh
- @maxmacias @foureyedsoul @NicestLibrarian @TheGnarrator @whosampled Or languages and linguistics elements! (I mostly work with those areas 😁) #critlib
- @maxmacias @foureyedsoul @NicestLibrarian @TheGnarrator @whosampled A semiotic analysis of graffiti in the context of hip hop sounds like a fun project to assign my imaginary students #dreaming #critlib
