From Harlem to NY University, Hip Hop Lures NY Hopefuls
Though hip hop started a black genre, it's no longer just young black men who see it as their calling. New York University offers a hip hop class and now tourists and students (for extra credit)can embark on the Hip Hop Pioneers Tour that passes by the landmarks of a genre now so mainstream it's getting a place in the Smithsonian's Museum of American History.
