“…Strong reactions from readers on both sides of the issue prompted the realization that Boyd could use his voice as a writer to spark important conversations. “And that felt like a superpower,” he says.
It’s a power that has propelled Boyd throughout his career. Known as the “Notorious Ph.D,” Boyd is the chair for the study of race and popular culture and professor of cinema and media studies at the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts.

He has written eight books, including his most recent, Rapper’s Deluxe: How Hip Hop Made the World (Phaidon Press, 2024)…”
