University of Michigan Ann-Arbor has a class that covers Hip-hop. It’s 2018 and people like Dr. Stephen Ward have moved the culture forward enough where the knowledge of Hip-hop is earning accredited college degrees. This semester I (Khary Frazier), Sterling Toles (Hip-hop Producer of Boldy James & more), and Buff1 (of Athletic Mic League & The Black Opera) all held an open discussion on the History of Detroit Hip-hop. The discussion is captured here. We talked World One Records (too much love to Butch Smalls), J Dilla, Payroll, Peezy, and Bogg Brown. It was a colorful back and forth, where we discussed the Bay’s (Oakland CA) relationship to Detroit as well.
