An undergraduate music class was examined that incorporated the creation of students’ individual original raps. Research was conducted to understand the value of studying rap and its impact upon students’ education. This instrumental case study utilised students’ individual raps as an art-based research component to address three research questions: 1.) How, if at all, does studying hip-hop through the creation of a rap provide a transformative experience and growth in students? 2.) How are student experiences reflected in the use of music composition through the creation of an original rap? and 3.) How does the process of creating an original rap provide insight into students’ experiences?

我们对本科生音乐课进行了检查，其中纳入了学生个人原创说唱的创作。进行研究是为了了解学习说唱的价值及其对学生教育的影响。这个工具性案例研究利用学生的个人说唱作为基于艺术的研究组成部分来解决三个研究问题：1.）通过创作说唱来学习嘻哈如何（如果有的话）为学生提供变革性的体验和成长？2.) 学生的体验如何通过创作原创说唱反映在音乐创作的使用中？3.) 创作原创说唱的过程如何提供对学生经历的洞察？
