Summary

  • Temple University introduces a Fall 2025 course exploring Kendrick Lamar’s work through an Afrocentric and sociocultural lens
  • The class analyzes themes of marginalization, self-actualization and urban policy reflected in Kendrick’s storytelling and lyrics
  • Guest speakers with direct ties to Lamar offer personal insight into his evolution, artistry and cultural impact

Temple University is launching a Fall 2025 course titled “Kendrick Lamar and the Morale of M.A.A.D City,” taught by Africology and African American Studies Assistant Professor Timothy Welbeck. He explains via Instagram,

“Kendrick Lamar is one of the leading voices of his generation, with a keen ability to articulate various dynamics of Black life and the quest for self-actualization — particularly capturing narratives of marginalization and the resilience to rise above it.”

Popular culture icons are increasingly finding their place in academia, as their stories offer powerful frameworks for teaching core concepts and increasing student engagement. This course, in particular, will explore Lamar’s life and music through an Afrocentric lens — examining the socioeconomic and cultural conditions of his hometown, Compton, and the impact of urban policy on the themes in his work.

Students will dive deep into Dot’s lyrical genius, unpacking how his storytelling, sound, and social commentary have evolved over time. The class will also feature guest speakers who have worked closely with Lamar, offering firsthand insight into his creative journey, cultural influence and legacy in music.
