This project dives into the songs looking at lyrics, meanings, and themes, throughout 12 of Jay Z's studio albums. Rambsy doesn't just focus on the meanings in Jay-Z's songs he also strides to explore Jay-Z's musical influences and allusions to other black artists. In this project Rambsy shows hiphop can be studied academically just like African American literature.
