Kanye West is the subject of "The Cultural Impact Of Kanye West," an academic textbook by Julius Bailey, due March 2014.

March 6 will see the release of The Cultural Impact of Kanye West, an over 300-page examination of the Kanye West and his impact on music and culture.

The description of author Julius Bailey’s unofficial academic textbook says it's an in-depth analysis of the “moral and social implications of West’s words, images and music in the broader context of Western civilization’s preconceived ideas.”

Bailey has been an ambassador for Hip Hop's purge of academia in the past. He's been the editor of a collection of essays on Jay Z's impact in music culture and has written a book on the fusion of Hip Hop and Philosophy. Julius Bailey is also a professor of philosophy at Wittenberg University and a leading voice in Hip Hop pedagogy.

This is not the first time Hip Hop has entered the halls of academia. Numerous universities across the United States have included Hip Hop as a discourse for learning. More notable examples include 9th Wonder's fellowship at Harvard and his professorship at Duke University. Jay Z is also the subject of a class at Georgetown University.
