"How Hip Hop Made The World" with Dr. Todd Boyd aka Notorious Ph.D.

Manny Faces welcomes Dr. Todd Boyd, the Katherine and Frank Price Endowed Chair for the Study of Race and Popular Culture and Professor of Cinema and Media Studies in the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts and author of the new book, "Rapper's Deluxe: How Hip Hop Made The World."

A media commentator, author, producer, consultant and scholar, Dr. Boyd is an intellectual and creative force who transcends boundaries and defies conventional categorization. In the immediate aftermath of the 1992 L.A. riots Dr. Boyd arrived at USC and began developing a new field of study centered around hip hop culture. His pioneering work would make connections across film, music, art, sports, fashion, and politics, establishing him as a preeminent expert and distinctly authoritative voice on the role of culture in American society.

And as always, we'll cover recent Hip Hop news and upcoming events that aren't about dumb sh*t!

And IF YOU INSIST, we'll talk about J. Cole and his apology.

Share this so your friends can join the livestream!
