Abstract

Hip-hop is not merely a musical genre that emerged in the 70’s that evolved into a multibillion-dollar industry; it is also a form of expression reflecting experiences of oppression. Artists like Tupac Shakur have used their lyrics to point at the white supremacy, discrimination, and injustices suffered by African Americans. This genre has transformed into a global tool of resistance, addressing contemporary issues and connecting with diverse cultures. Its importance of study lies in its ability to understand and analyze its historical impact, as a form of protest and catalyst for a systemic change.
