Rap and the Rap Culture

Number of Pages 6

The writer discusses the connection between the Old English epic poem Beowulf and today's rap culture. The writer argues that although it's not possible to trace a direct connection between the poem and contemporary rap, there are striking similarities in the use of violence, the way it is portrayed, and the fact that Beowulf's self-aggrandizement reflects the bragging stance of many of today's rap artists. The paper is six pages long and has one source listed in the bibliography.
