Back in 2011, Bun B accepted a position at Rice University to co-teach a class about Religion and Hip-Hop Culture. Since then, the UGK co-founder has imparted his knowledge in these areas to hundreds of Texas. Beyond academia, Bun regularly reflects on his experiences as an MC, a father, and one of the more influential Rap artists of the last 20-plus years.
For the inaugural episode of Talib Kweli’s People’s Party show (with Jasmine Leigh), the “Country Cousins” collaborators from a dozen years ago discuss how academia has informed Bun’s understanding of Hip-Hop’s evolution and its power.
