Listen up Barbz! You may soon be able to take a deep dive into the messages behind Nicki Minaj’s music in one of America’s most prestigious universities.
“I think she had broadened the definition of what it means to be a feminist and how we are reciprocal to music that portrays our bodies in different ways,” said Escobar. “She comes from different backgrounds. I think she speaks on all different types of voices and I think she really is an image and a role model for a lot of different people.”
Cal students are practicing their own rap skills, hoping the 10-time Grammy nominee will make a guest appearance after she tweeted about the course saying she would love to stop by. It's not the first time pop culture has entered the classroom. UC Berkeley studied Frank Ocean in the past and San Diego State and NYU have hosted courses highlighting Bad Bunny and Taylor Swift.“I think it is important for us to look at celebrities who hold so much power in society in such a critical way, although they may not be making laws they are influencing a broad generation of people,” said student Isabel Alvarez.
UC Berkeley released a statement Monday afternoon thanking everyone for their interest, but noting the course is still in the idea stage and under review. "We appreciated the interest in this topic. The instructor’s course proposal is in the idea stage and is in the early process of departmental planning and review. Once developed and approved, the course would be part of an African American Studies Special Topics in Cultural Studies course the instructor is scheduled to teach this spring. It is too soon to offer much more information at this point. Thanks again for your interest,” the university said.
