Students at Georgetown University can study the life of Jay Z...

Usa Today reports that Professor Michael Eric Dyson, who teaches at Georgetown University in the US, has offered a course titled the 'Sociology of Hip-Hop: Jay Z', with the scholar arguing that the course will include topics found in any sociology course. "It just happens to have an interesting object of engagement in Jay Z - and what better way to meet people where they are?" Dyson said, "It's like Jesus talking to the woman at the well. You ask for a drink of water, then you get into some theological discussions."
Reading lists for the class include Hova's autobiography 'Decoded', while it also features mid and end term exams; Dyson's obviously a big fan of the rapper and the course also points to his entrepreneurial dealings - the star owning both a clothes line and part owning the Nba's New Jersey Nets.
