<h3 style="text-align: center;">Coursework Will Include Watching The Comedian&#8217;s Specials</h3>
<p><strong>Yassin &#8220;Narcy&#8221; Alsalman </strong>— a rapper and professor at Concordia University — shared the news during a sit-down on the <em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y34qixsmsPQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jibber with Jaber</a> </em>podcast.</p>
<p>While the &#8220;Team Chappelle&#8221; course isn&#8217;t finalized, Alsalman is actively working on the syllabus. He also notes that the course will be celebrated around the upcoming 50th anniversary of hip-hop in August.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m writing my syllabus right now, and, from what Dave and the community around him gave me, I&#8217;m gonna kind of celebrate that at the 50th anniversary of hip-hop as a community.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Alsalman added that the course will incorporate <em>Chappelle&#8217;s Show</em>, along with &#8220;some of his specials.&#8221;</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Yassin &#8220;Narcy&#8221; Alsalman Sticks Up For Dave Chappelle: &#8220;His Persona Has Been Colvoluted&#8221;</h3>
<p>In turn, host <strong>Ahman Jaber</strong> jokingly said the instructor must <em>&#8220;boycott the Netflix one,&#8221;</em> though he responded,<em> &#8220;No. Absolutely not.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Shortly thereafter, Alsalman spoke on how he believes Chappelle&#8217;s &#8220;persona has been convoluted.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I think a lot of his persona has been convoluted. He&#8217;s a comedian. Knowing him, it&#8217;s not how people have painted him out to be. He&#8217;s made fun of Black people; he&#8217;s made fun of white people.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>He noted that, regardless of how people may view the comedian&#8217;s <a href="https://time.com/6105951/dave-chappelle-netflix-controversy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">controversies</a>, he&#8217;s &#8220;going to celebrate Dave.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to celebrate Dave and the community around him and the work that he&#8217;s done for us as a generation and what he&#8217;s done for us.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Alsalman wrapped by teasing that students could &#8220;maybe&#8221; get a chance to even meet Chappelle.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Maybe Dave will come, maybe he won&#8217;t. But that&#8217;s not really why I&#8217;m doing it. I&#8217;m doing it more to thank him and celebrate him and really write that history.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Alsalman Has Led Courses On Kanye West &; Kendrick Lamar</h3>
<p>It&#8217;s important to note that Alsalman is definitely no stranger to teaching classes on notable Black celebrities.</p>
<p>Last year, he went viral after word broke out that he&#8217;d teach a class on <strong>Kanye West </strong>(aka <strong>Ye</strong>).</p>
<p><amp-twitter data-tweetid="1502457758410489858" layout="responsive" width="600" height="480"></amp-twitter></p>
<p><amp-twitter data-tweetid="1502305607797280768" layout="responsive" width="600" height="480"></amp-twitter></p>
<p>Additionally, he&#8217;s led a class on <strong>Kendrick Lamar</strong> and plans to teach other courses on acts like <strong>Black Star</strong>, <strong>The Roots</strong>, and <strong>Erykah Badu</strong>.</p>
<p>We should also point out that another Canadian institution — <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/toronto-university-will-offer-a-course-about-drake-the-weeknd-in-2022/?_gl=1*1tuzu0d*_up*MQ..*_ga*MzkzMDQyODc2LjE2ODM3MjY3Mjk.*_ga_V2HX8YP3XL*MTY4MzcyNjcyOC4xLjEuMTY4MzcyNjkxMi4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ryerson University</a> in Toronto — also offered a course on local artists <strong>Drake </strong>and <strong>The Weeknd</strong>, as <em>The Shade Room </em>reported.</p>
