“Oh you thought ?uestlove was the only one that could get all academic on this hip-hop ish? Well, prepare to be blown away by the fortitude of The Hip-Hop Fellow, a feature-length documentary charting 9th Wonder‘s tenure as a Harvard University professor, teaching “The Breaks” to a few dozen well-off Cambridge folk. As a complimentary effort to Harvard’s Hip-Hop Archive (curating all academic, cultural and political matters related to our dear tradition) 9th Wonder’s scholastic residency is not to be missed as a student of the college.”

North Carolina news leader, WRAL-TV featured The Hip-Hop Fellow during its “Living The Legacy” story on Duke University’s Dr. Mark Anthony Neal. Dr. Neal is prominently featured in The Hip-Hop Fellow as an interviewee on topics ranging from Nas’s Illmatic to 9th Wonder’s teaching style in the classroom.

“Rapper and producer 9th Wonder (Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige) chronicled his year of lecturing and research as a fellow of the Hip-Hop Archive at Harvard for the upcoming documentary The Hip-Hop Fellow.

For his project, 9th Wonder researched the records that created his top 10 produced albums, including Dr. Dre’s “The Chronic,” Jay-Z’s “Reasonable Doubt” and “The Blueprint,” a Tribe Called Quest’s “Midnight Marauders” and, yes, Nas’ “Illmatic.” Those records would go on to be cataloged and archived in the permanent collection at Harvard.”
