Is There a God on the Mic? Hip Hop’s (Untold) Religious History
Josef Sorett
Tues, April 23rd, 6 PM
Lecture/MCC Lounge

At odds with abiding critiques of Hip Hop’s celebration of materialism, misogyny and violence, this talk highlights how religion has long been a centerpiece of the music and culture. Telling the less familiar story of Hip Hop’s religious history, we will cover a range of religious performances from such early artists as KRS-ONE, Tupac and Lauryn Hill up through contemporary figures like Kanye West, Remy Ma, Chance the Rapper, and Kendrick Lamar. Josef Sorett is an Associate Professor of Religion and African-American Studies at Columbia University, where he also directs the Center on African-American Religion, Sexual Politics and Social Justice.

Simultaneously subtle and on-the-nose, this original yet under-cooked examination of the pressing issue of police brutality centers on three characters — an eyewitness who captured it all on his phone, an African-American police officer routinely confronted by racism on the job, and a local high school student who’s transformed from passive Multiple Central Coast Locations bystander to activist by the events — who serve as the prismatic lens by which first-time director Reinaldo Marcus Green considers the myriad ramifications of such an event. 1h 38m
