Sažetak
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
