Abstract
Rap music has been around in this form for more than fifty years. However, this music genre has reached its peak in the 1990s due to the activistic nature of this music: fighting against the racial injustice, as well as the socio-historical context of the 1990s American society: racism reached its peak with murders of innocent Black individuals, percentage of incarcerations, racial profiling and police brutality towards black communities. This paper tries to analyze rap music and some of its authors: 2Pac, Dead Prez and Kendrick Lamar, who will be analyzed within the context of critical race theory and black nihilism. Nine songs are analyzed: three of each author. This thesis aims to analyze rap music in order to connect the concrete events such as the ‘war on drugs,’ or Los Angeles riots in the nineties, with the critical race theory that encompasses the analysis of racism by explaining the reality of incarcerations, police brutality, and racial profiling.
Abstract (croatian)
Rap glazba postoji u ovom obliku više od pedeset godina. Međutim, ovaj je glazbeni žanr dosegao svoj vrhunac 1990-ih upravo zbog aktivističke prirode ove glazbe: borba protiv rasne nepravde, kao i socio-povijesnog konteksta američkog društva 1990-ih: rasizam je dosegao svoj vrhunac ubojstvima nedužnih crnaca, stopi zatvaranja pripadnika crnačkih zajednica, rasnom profiliranju i brutalnosti policije prema crnačkim zajednicama. Ovaj rad analizira rap glazbu i neke od njenih autora: 2Pac, Dead Prez i Kendrick Lamar, koji će biti analizirani u kontekstu kritičke teorije rase i nihilizma u crnačkim zajednicama. Analizira se devet pjesama: po tri od svakog autora i svakog desetljeća. Ovaj diplomski rad ima za cilj analizirati rap glazbu kako bi se povezali konkretni događaji poput 'rata protiv droge' ili nemira u Los Angelesu devedesetih s kritičkom teorijom rase.
