      abstract = {Many educators already know that hip-hop can be a powerful  tool for engaging students. But can hip-hop save our  schools? In Hip Hop Genius, Sam Seidel introduces an  iteration of hip-hop education that goes far beyond the  usual approach of studying rap music as classroom content  and looks instead at deeply honoring the knowledge of urban  students. Seidel lays out a vision for how hip-hop's  genius-the resourceful creativity and swagger that took it  from a local phenomenon to a global force-can lead toa  fundamental remix of the way we think of teaching, school  design, and leadership. Through stories about the  professional rapper who founded the first hip-hop high  school and the aspiring artists currently enrolled there,  Hip Hop Genius invites readers to think outside the  (boom)box about what hip-hop education can mean and to  consider the implications that a broader definition of  hip-hop education could have on their teaching and learning  experiences. This book is for all of the educators in  needof new solutions and all the hip-hop heads who know  hip-hop is far more than music. It is for everyone who  refuses to watch brilliant young people slip through the  cracks and is down to take action.},
