The author goes through historical sources that have created hip-hop and notices that this subculture has been built upon cultural tradition of contestation. This fact allows to include hip-hop in a wider aspect. The analysis of selected examples shows how the subculture in question creates the image and the concept of power. The author observes that the hip-hop subject defines social reality as a cause of imprisonment. The study of rappers’ textual self-creations allows to deduce that they claim to know the only path to freedom. As a result, hip-hop culture is constructed around the dichotomy, exemplified in a division into “us” and “them”. The author detects that hip-hop songs use propaganda language and war stylizations, thus they foreshadow and fight for a total reformation of power scheme.}, doi = {10.4467/23531991KK.14.025.2886}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/konteksty-kultury/article/dla-jednych-trutka-a-dla-innych-karma-kontestacja-w-tekstach-polskiego-hip-hopu} }
