Intertextuality and allusion in rap lyrics [Elektronski vir]
Kolarič, Jožef, anglist
Rap music is one of the few music genres in which lyrics play the central part of the song. The stripped down drum beats in the background are there to set the mood of the song and to emphasise the ...song lyrics. As a consequence of rap being a word heavy music genre, there is a wide range of concepts that rap can cover, from race relations to science fiction. The literary techniques used to convey the more challenging concepts are intertextuality and allusion. This essay will show how those devices were used to integrate literature into the rap song "The Man Who Would Be King" by Billy Woods. It will discuss how intertextuality and allusion were used to convey the concepts of imperialism, colonialism, post-colonialism and neo-colonialism, and how sampling was used to enhance and expand those concepts on the musical level. It will also take a look at the function of gender in relation to reflecting imperialism in the song. It analyses how the rap song with integration of intertextuality, allusion and sampling could be seen as contemporary post-colonial writing in the form of a rap song.
