Controversy over rap music--gangsta rap, in particular--compels our attention toward the lyrics, the images, and the purported "offenses" it portrays. Discussions by the media, academics, activists, and rappers themselves add to the cultural turbulence surrounding rap music. Rap music and its surrounding commentary, however, do much more than stake boundaries on acceptable and unacceptable behavior and images. The substance of the debate pertains ideologically and experientially to the social construction of African-American identity. Specifically, gangsta rap and its surrounding commentary socially construct a particular version of African-American identity that is urban, masculine, and poor.

520 $a The following dissertation explores rap music's role in the social construction of African-American identity. This study argues that rappers and critics of rap employ a politics of identity to make claims about rap's lyrics and so grounded, arguments and even the images portrayed by rap rely on constructed measures of authenticity to signify African-American identity. Secondary interviews with rappers, a sample of rap music videos, and the transcripts of the 1994 Congressional Hearings on gangsta rap lyrics are evaluated for thematic patterns in this cultural form's social construction of African-American identity.
