O Rap Como Pensamento Político Brasileiro

Abstract

The article is the product of a political study of rap, which aims to find out if it is possible to consider some of the lyrics as part of the corpus of Brazilian Political Thought. To this end, a discourse analysis of two albums was carried out: one by the group Racionais MC's and another by the rapper Emicida, around the axes of "race", "slavery" and "underdevelopment", relating them to classic texts of political thought.
