Item AFRICAN AMERICAN RAP CULTURE AS A METAMORPHOSIS OF ORALITY IN BLACK LITERATURE.(Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba, 2014-11-11) AMINU SEGUN; AMINU SEGUNRap music is a derivative of the oral forms of literature, which is man's original medium of self-expression and artistic creativity. Rap music (Rhythm and Blues) is a highly prolific component of a popular culture, which has served as a means of expressing the plight of the black man in a predominantly prejudicial white society. Prior to the advent of written culture, orality was to a very large extent, the main mode of transmitting information and passing down history and legends from one generation to another. This work takes a critical look at the rap music of some black artists and their exploitation of the medium of orality in the United States.
