The Fast Life

This upcoming semester 9th Wonder will be teaching an African American studies course alongside Professor Mark Anthony Neal at Duke University. According to Neal's blog the homie 9th is going to assist him in teaching "sampling soul", a class about songs from the Black Power and Civil Rights Movements. This is what Neal had to say about it “The class is studying soul music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, the neighborhoods it came out of and where was the influence for this song to come out of,” Wonder said in an interview, “I’m excited man, it’s a new frontier for me. I’m always excited for new frontiers.” As we all know, 9th Wonder's production is based heavily on samples that mostly come from records during the Black Power and Civil Rights movements in the 60s and 70s. 9th is no rookie at teaching, he previously taught a class on Hip-Hop at North Carolina Central University. The same school where he met former group members Big Pooh and Phonte of Little Brother as a student.
