So... I just got word that tomorrow night will be the second, FREE and open-to-the-public session for Bun B's "Religion and Hip Hop Culture" class at Rice University.Brought to you by the H.E.R.E. (Houston Enriches Rice Education) Project, I'm told it will most likely be a panel discussion and Q&A session like the event held at St. John's back in February.
I'm also told that Talib Kweli and Malice from The Clipse will be there and play a part.
Talib is a well-respected conscious MC known for his solo and side work with guys like Mos Def and DJ Hi-Tek.
Meanwhile, Malice (previously known for his coke raps with brother Pusha T as part of The Clipse) has been making waves as an author of Wretched, Pitiful, Poor, Blind and Naked - his musical and spiritual life story. (Read my interview with Malice about that here.)
Details on the event:
If you're interested in how the last session went down you can read my recap posted here.
With Talib & Malice in the mix, it should be a great discussion.
UPDATE: According to the course's Facebook page, the topic will be "The Ethics of Hip Hop."
