Lil’ Kim is the only Hip-Hop artist besides Tupac Shakur to have a college course based on her. The course is called “Hip-Hop Eshu: Queen Bitch 101" English and Textual Studies 350 and is offered at Syracruse University. Description: Students in Professor Greg Thomas’ class analyze how Lil’ Kim’s rhymes challenge male chauvinism and homophobia in the rap world, as well as transcend old standards of sexual politics. The Queen B herself paid the class a visit in November 2004, but naysayers have criticized the course for undermining a serious college curriculum. Unfazed, Thomas also teaches a graduate-level version called “Hip-Hop’s Queen Bitch Writings."

Quote
“The melancholy of the antique world seems to me more profound than that of the moderns, all of whom more or less imply that beyond the dark void lies immortality. But for the ancients that ‘black hole’ is infinity itself; their dreams loom and vanish against a background of immutable ebony. No crying out, no convulsions - nothing but the fixity of a pensive gaze. Just when the gods had ceased to be and the Christ had not yet come, there was a unique moment in history, between Cicero and Marcus Aurelius, when man stood alone. Nowhere else do I find that particular grandeur.”
Gustave Flaubert, Letter to Madame Roger des Genettes (1861)
