Welcome to Rap Therapy

Welcome to Rap Therapy where we examine how language is used to shape our very reality.  It was birthed into existence as Element Seven (Street Language) among Hip Hop's Nine Elements, according to Hip Hop legend and scholar KRS One. Its primary focus is to help you reconnect with your well-being and establish a genuine relationship with yourself. There is a meditative component to this art form that few people explore and practice in their everyday lives. 

In this course, we will examine various case studies which demonstrate how rap music is used to help troubled individuals solve real life problems. We will also analyse the book Rap Therapy by Dr. Don Elligan as a general guide for our discussion. The majority of our sessions will focus on dissecting the work of conscious emcees like KRS One, 2Pac, A Tribe Called Quest, Lauryn Hill, The Roots, Queen Latifah and others.
