Forgot About Dre’ by Dr. Dre and Internal Rhyme is F$!%#@ Cool

Should Mark let his students drop no-no words in their concerts? This week, the hosts remember the iconic 1999 counter-diss track “Forgot About Dre” by Dr. Dre and Eminem. Mark highlights some awesome use of a cool rhyme trick that makes the song really stand out. Things then go a bit off the rails into a conversation about the use of problematic language in songs, as well as how we should interface with that language in our teaching. Write in with your input on this topic!
