		Rap artists from different banlieues tend to spurn traditional politics, affirming their loyalty to their "families" from their cites, yet calling for a multi-ethnic alliance and political movement with hip hop at its core.
		French rap's incendiary lyrics have met with mainstream criticism, most notably when Supr?me NTM's hit "Nique la Police"("F--k The Police," obviously inspired by the American group NWA's song of the same name) triggered a political and legal firestorm.
		Rap for many French banlieusards represents "a turn to speak" ("la prise de parole") and an opportunity to express rejectionist attitudes and "la haine" (hatred) of the French establishment.

	YaHooka Forums - Anybody into French hip hop?
		Gangsta rap and political rap from the late 80's/early 90's is good, too, especially NWA, Public Enemy, and Ice Cube.
		Also, it's a lot more political than American rap - lots of it is anti-police, anti-racism, anti-government, etc. Just wish I had taken French so I could better understand what they were saying...
		However, for the past 10 years or so, American rap has bored the fuck out of me. It's the same shit, about having money and being bad, over and over again.

	Music Preview: Audioslave
		The 38-year-old Morello, who besides being a bona fide guitar hero is a Harvard graduate and a committed activist (his father was a Kenyan freedom fighter; his Irish-Italian mother formed Parents for Rock and Rap), says he's compensating with Axis of Justice.
		I think for 10 years Rage Against the machine very effectively sang and rapped and rocked about the problems facing society, but with Axis of Justice, we're actually doing something about it.
		But what was lost in the shuffle was one of the few modern bands with a strong political voice, at a time when it was needed more than ever.

	Don't Front, Senator - The Harvard Political Review - End Paper
		Lest politicians think rap feuds pre-dated political smear campaigns (or even blame such campaigns on rappers), it is worth looking at Richard Nixon's campaign against George McGovern in 1972.
		Rap music and hip-hop culture seem foreign to most top politicians, other than perhaps Rev. Al Sharpton, who has referred to himself as the hip-hop candidate, and when politicians try to embrace hip-hop, they generally seem ridiculous.
		Nixon's ads accused McGovern of dishonesty and flip-flopping, or in rap terms, "frontin'." Twenty years later, Vanilla Ice was a target of similar accusations, as everyone from "Suge" Knight, CEO of Death Row Records, to white rap trio 3rd Bass accused of Vanilla Ice of fabricating his "ghetto" background to appeal to a rap audience.

	Rasquachismo in the Mix: A Case Study of the Rasquache Sensibility in Chicano and Mexican Rap Music
		Chicano and Mexican rap emerges in the context of urban corruption and decay in Mexico and the repressions of the barrios in the U.S. southwest.
		Rap music, with its characteristic use of various musical sources, lends easily to the adoption of hip hop by Chicanos and Mexicans because their lives have continuously been marked by the processes of mestizaje inherent in Chicano and Mexican culture.
		Classifying Chicano music into critical and uncritical mestizaje, this categorization moves discussions of Chicano music away from Manichean arguments of “authentic” versus “assimilationist” and into questioning sexist lyrics, unoriginal music, and lack of political edge (210).

		In particular, rap and rock music then came under increasing attack from various sides representing the entire left and right political spectrum, purportedly for their explicit sexual and violent lyrical contents.

	BW Online September 26, 2000 How Corrosive Is Heavy Metal?
		With an emphasis on sex, death, alienation, and rebellion, it was inevitable that heavy metal would inspire a fresh round of hand-wringing from members of both major political parties during the current election season.
		The metal band Anthrax also put out a single in 1987 called "I'm the Man" that was an incredibly bad -- but really funny -- mixture of rap and metal.
		A: As you can guess by the title, rap metal is the mixture of rap-style vocals over generally slower and more groove-orientated heavy music.

	SOHH.com Global Forum - Korea's rap 'n' roll phenomenon
		Try to dismiss K-pop as K-rap, though, and you overlook the most remarkable aspect of the phenomenon, the fast-spreading popularity of this pop form to China, the communist giant that seems to welcome the invasion as long as it is pop, and not political.
		Unlike the anodyne messages of the rap that is chanted by the major bands, including "Drunken Tiger," they shout out words of rebellion against traditional society.
		Maybe, he says, that's because Koreans are so mesmerized by the formulaic numbers blaring from the country's four music TV channels that they have yet to consider them as an overall phenomenon deserving of a label reflecting the country of origin.
