What do millennial rappers in the United States say in their music?
This timely and compelling book answers this question by decoding
the lyrics of over 700 songs from contemporary rap artists. Using
innovative research techniques, Matthew Oware reveals how emcees
perpetuate and challenge gendered and racialized constructions of
masculinity, femininity, and sexuality. Male and female artists
litter their rhymes with misogynistic and violent imagery. However,
men also express a full range of emotions, from arrogance to
vulnerability, conveying a more complex manhood than previously
acknowledged. Women emphatically state their desires while
embracing a more feminist approach. Even LGBTQ artists stake their
claim and express their sexuality without fear. Finally, in the age
of Black Lives Matter and the presidency of Donald J. Trump, emcees
forcefully politicize their music. Although complicated and
contradictory in many ways, rap remains a powerful medium for
social commentary.
