Americans to study a course on Kanye West

A new course at Washington University in St. Louis is focused on the world of Kanye West . The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 75 students are
registered for "Politics of Kanye West: Black Genius and Sonic Aesthetics," which began this week.

There's a waiting list to get in. The professor, Jeffrey McCune, says the course focused on the rapper, producer and fashion designer offers a way for students to connect issues of politics, race, gender, sexuality and culture. It's not the first college course about West.

  Georgia State University offered one in 2015, and a 2014 course at the University of Missouri focused on West and Jay Z . McCune says the court will neither fawn over West's music nor be an exercise in bashing him.
