Celebrate Hip-Hop Appreciation Week

We’re currently in the midst of the fourth annual Hip-Hop Appreciation Week – May 14 – May 21.  See the full story at mtv.com.

We have lots of hip-hop materials here in the Music Library and Sound Recordings Archves to help you celebrate.  To find them, do a subject search in the BGSU’s online catalog for the terms, “Rap (Music).”  After you get the results of this search, click on the “Limit & Sort Search” button to limit to books, recordings, periodicals, etc.  Also, be sure to checkout our Rap & Hip Hop research guide for some places to get started in your research.
