Produktbeschreibung
Due to increasing social relevance, the messages
contained within rap music are instruments that
possess information that allows for a better
understanding of the communicative culture of those
who produce this music. Tupac Shakur is selected as
the focus of this study because he personifies the
connection between oppression/paranoia and rap
music as a cultural expression.
Utilizing a textual analysis, this study aims to
tease out manifestations of Afrocentricity within
the lyrical component of Shakur s Me Against the
World.
The dire need to produce research that is both
congruent to and supportive of the fundamental
connection between communication and culture is the
fundamental basis for this study. Rap music, a
derivative of African culture, is concrete proof of
the need for critical research geared toward
understanding the intricate interplay between
communication and culture. Through the thorough
analysis of his lyrics, as performed in this study,
our understanding of both rap music s cultural
relevance and Tupac Shakur s influence will
definitely be broadened.
