QUESTION:

Please pick a section from Chapter 2: "Hood Politics" from Promise That You Will Sing About Me (in the attachment) and relate it to one of the themes from a previous week in the course. For example hip hop and feminism, Black Power, neighborhood geography, etc.

You should begin by crafting an arguable claim about how the chosen section relates to a previous course theme (hip hop and feminism, Black Power).

Try to be as specific as possible. For example, if you make a claim that there is a connection between Tupac and Kendrick's work, make sure that you give specific ways their work is connected in your claim. Please use at least three direct quotations from Promise That You Will Sing About Me AND at least two quotes from optional text/films in order to support your answer.

Note: Your responses should be 2-3 paragraphs ( No less than 800 words)and provide evidence from the texts and film to support your answers.

Quotes: When you are "quoting from the book," please include the author's last name and page numbers (Lewis, 72). Make sure to always take a minute to "unpack" or explain what the passage is saying in your own words. This will help me understand why you've chosen the particular quote to help support your answer.
