SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) _ Syracuse University students taking the
course ``The Life and Times of Lil' Kim'' are scheduled to have a
guest speaker tomorrow _ the multi-platinum hip hop recording
artist herself.
Kim accepted an invitation to speak to students in the
accredited course taught by English professor Greg Thomas.
She also will meet with faculty and about 100 other invited
students during her visit to discuss her role in the hip hop
culture and her experiences as one of its leading female stars.
She says in a statement -- quote -- ``I am honored and quite
proud that a class is being on my sensationalist lyrics, unique
style and fashion and leadership role within the hip-hop
community.''
The Syracuse course requires students to read Kim's song lyrics
as literary texts and analyzes her iconography in videos and
performances.
A growing list of courses offered by colleges and universities
around the country are examining hip hop as a cultural movement.
