| Opis: | At the beginning of the master's thesis, we will deal with this topic, i.e., the pioneers of the development of rap music. Above all, we will be interested in how this development took place in a cultural sense and how African-American culture influenced it. This cultural as well as sociological aspect will be present throughout the thesis. In the master's thesis, we will also use the title hip Hop music. The term rap has historically been used more for commercial purposes, while the term hip hop has a more cultural background.
Rap music was heavily influenced by disco music, among other things, as disco also emphasized the key role of DJs in creating songs and mixes for dancers. While early disco music was strongly associated with African-American and Italian-American culture, which developed mainly in subculture clubs, a trend began in the 1970s, when expensively recorded disco songs produced by the increasingly popular music industry took over. The first few initial chapters will focus on this topic.
It is virtually impossible to talk about hip hop or rap music without mentioning AAVE (African-American Vernacular English). Many African-Americans are living in the US. Their ancestors, or at least most of them, came to the USA as slaves. They were brought to Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619, and then a continuous stream of slaves was present until 1808, when the slave trade was abolished. These waves of enslaved Africans did not speak English but their local languages. When they arrived in the USA, they learned English, the dominant language. Linguists' assumptions differ to this day regarding how successful they were in acquiring the new language and how much their local languages in Africa influenced them.
In this thesis, we will elaborate on the different theories regarding the origin of AAVE and its grammatical and phonetic features. We will also devote a good part of the thesis to an essential part of the history of rap music, namely the rivalry between the US East Coast rap and US West Coast rap. Finally, we will add another chapter where we will briefly outline the development of rap music in Slovenia.
We will focus on the lyrics in the second empirical part of the thesis, where we will highlight some of the selected songs. We will compare and analyze the compositions. We will focus more extensively on the linguistic features, as these make rap music stand out compared to other musical genres. We will also look at the specific characteristics of rap lyrics compared to different genres. |
