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.
