Abstract
In this chapter, Kjell Andreas Oddekalv presents methodological tools for the analysis of flow-rap's rhythmic structure-and suggests how this type of analysis can be utilised in higher education. Some of Hip-Hop's cultural tenets, like "keeping it real" and a focus on individual expression and "not biting" might seem at odds with the typical structures of formalised music education, the chapter foregrounds these discussions. Hip-Hop's cultural and social values are intimately connected with its aesthetics, and this chapter provides educators with a toolbox capable of letting students unpack what makes the shit dope, and make some dope shit themselves.
