Funk Master P-Rez

Who is Funk Master P-Rez, and where exactly is he from? Is cuban a language(most definitely not, a dialect...perhaps) And most pressing, why am I taking IB Music, and what exactly am I intended to learn in it? The answer to the last of course, is because I could not enroll in AP Music Theory(Mr. Wasson is not teaching it anyway, so whats the point?) and I am not intended to learn anything at all, but more intended to benefit from the experience and become more culturally aware. I suppose for this reason our Cuban DJ makes sense as the instructor for this class, but I would affirm that in mannerisms he is thoroughly American in nature. Not because I am aware of what American in nature means, but because it is an extremely pliable term that can be applied to anyone. American culture is defined by rampant sectionalism, partisan activity, knowing and not knowing, unity and division, cultured and uncultured(what is that, by the way?), intelligent and unintelligent, driven and lazy, persistent and determined or obsessive and stubborn, and of course, white, black, latino, various eastern and western european sorts, Indian, native american(very few now, we did a fantastic job exterminating that particular race), asian at large, and the racism and disputes over racism that go with the territory. So in essence, anyone and everyone can be of the "american nature" and probably is. I think I forgot rampant capitalism. And conspiracies. But I digress. I fear that we will never know Funk Master P-Rez's true origins or name, or the purpose of his anecdotes mid-lesson. All that we can be sure of is that he is explicitly American in nature, and that his leading of the Union charge vs. their Confederate overlords is taking from his class-time quality. And that it bothers me.
