Rap as Art and Philosophy

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of rap and philosophy, this book defends rap as a legitimate form of art and an expression of existential ethics.

By presenting themselves as poets and activists, they seek to educate and uplift their communities, advocating for collective well-being rather than personal gain. The work positions rap as a powerful medium for social critique and cultural reflection, revealing its aesthetic depth and significance.
