With Jay-Zhaving incredible accomplisments in the “urban” and financial world, it sounds about right that a college should be offered.

According to The A & T Register, “studying the literary themes of Jay-Z’slyrics, students will identify the themes of literary analysis: decode images, similes and metaphors, observe time progression. Students will also  examine point of view, apply Frietag’s Pyramid, and discuss the standards of literary analysis. Expectations for the class is to use Jay-Z lyrics to explain and explore the basic modes of capitalism and entrepreneurship as we know it today.”
