At Temple University will be taught by the autumn of 2025 Lamar titled “Kendrick Lamar and the Morale of Maad City” by Assistant Professor of African and African-American Studies, Timothy Welbeck. The lesson analyzes issues of marginalization, self -realization and urban policy reflected in the narrative and lyrics of the American rapper, a singer and record producer.

Invited speakers with direct links with Lamar will offer a personal view of his evolution, artistic creation and cultural impact.

In his post on Instagram the teacher explains: “Centric Lamar is one of the leading voices of his generation, with a strong ability to articulate various dynamics of black life and the search for self -fulfillment by particularly recording marginalization narratives and durability.”

Pop culture idols are increasingly finding their place in academia, as their stories offer a strong framework for teaching basic concepts and increasing students’ participation. The lesson, in particular, will explore Lamar’s life and music through an Afro -centered prism -expanding the socio -economic and cultural conditions of his birthplace, Cotton in California and the impact of urban policy on the issues of his work.

Hip-hop lawyer, academic and artist, Welbeck aims to examine the influence of a Pulitzer Rapper on black culture, identity and resistance.

Similar courses have been taught in other US university institutions. At the University of Regents in Georgia the rapper’s album “Pimp a butterfly » It was analyzed in a sociology lesson and Harvard University included Lamar’s work at the Hip-Hop Research Institute and Archive.
