St. Paul, Minnesota (CNN) -- When you're on a college campus and you ask someone what they're studying, one answer you don't typically hear is "hip hop."
But McNally Smith College of Music in St. Paul, Minnsota, is the first school in the nation to offer an accredited diploma program on the study and performance of hip hop music.
Well, I mean...
People can major in classical or jazz performance... I mean of course they'd have to major in a particular instrument in these cases, or conducting... or theory... but still...
A music school is offering a major in the study of a type of music, why is this 'wtf news'?
Because hip-hop isn't "serious" music.Quote:

I don't look down on this any more than I look down on any other music diploma printed on toilet paper
It's just as good as a poli-sci degree
Good lord. They're classifying hip hop as music now?!
