Introduction to rap sociology. Explanation of the conflict by the "slash" street and militants. The work aims to ask about the co-articulations of rap music in its variety in order to decrease any approximation of the phenomenon; to that end, the hip-hop culture (in the form of rap) is supposed to be the protean clarification of biographical mappings within scenarios which helped to corroborate a tendency to the reorganization of the social conflict, which can be found in both street poetry and the “engaged bars”. The article will be preceded by a brief introduction on the reproduction of a conscious action that restores some regularities of behaviors and values conflicting with the settled living conditions; that’s why they are responsible for a tension that goes through, and is typical of the main social relations which will restore an idealistic and empirical contiguity with the subjectivities involved in the object of our study.
