Paper Summary:

While, rap music has its roots in the ghettos of the USA and black culture, it is now a full-scale industry that caters to the disenfranchised youth of America and bridges all gaps of culture and social levels. This paper examines the violent implications of rap music, including promiscuity and sexuality, and discusses whether it contributes to the growing trend of violence in America and throughout the world.

From the Paper:

"Insights from street scripts echo and amplify the analyses of scholars seeking to understand and transform everyday slave mentalities and how they operate as obstacles to social justice. The concept of "dangerous Others," which was named and explicated by Dwight Conquergood (1992), is key to the ill-logic of modern-day slave mentalities. Focusing specifically on youth gangs, he notes that they "are constructed in public discourse as the cause, effect, and aberrant response to urban decay." Thus, other social forces and institutions are absconded from any responsibility."
