"Sou um projeto de muitas outras pessoas e meus passos também são os deles": o Rap como instrumento de reflexão sobre o cotidiano

Abstract

This article, whose theme is Rap and the critical conscience of the citizen, aims to understand the national Rap as a way of reflecting on reality, considering that the peripheral Brazilian population, which is mostly composed by black people, due to various historical processes of exclusion and dehumanization were deprived of several rights by an excluding State and society, including access to education and the right to reflection and understanding of their own being. For the preparation of this work, the methods used were bibliographic, qualitative and opinion research using an online questionnaire as an instrument to form a solid theoretical basis for the reflections present in the research. Taking into account that Rap is a cultural protest movement, carried out by the marginalized classes of society, it enables members of that reality to reflect on their situation and become aware of their rights and duties. With the analysis of the collected data, it was possible to notice the influence of national Rap in the lives of people who listen to it, how it can become an instrument of reflection on reality and a bridge to class consciousness.
