Gangsta Rap

Dyson's real purpose for writing this essay seems to be in order to describe how rappers are representatives of the black community. The lyrics in rap songs tend to focus on the conditions of life in the ghettos and of the black community. This essay seems to be more of an evaluation of the rappers themselves rather than the actual rap music. The evaluation tells more how the rappers themselves are personal representatives of the black community, but they sometimes exaggerate the conditions of life of the black community.
