Detecting references and similarities in music lyricscan be a difficult task. Crowdsourced knowledge platforms likeGenius can help in this process through user annotatedinformation about the artist and the song but fail to includevisualizations to help users finding similarities and structures ona higher and more abstract level.

We propose a prototype to compute similarities between rap artists based on word embedding of their lyrics crawled from Genius. Furthermore, the artists and their lyrics can be analyzed using an explorative visualization system applying multiple visualization methods to support domain-specific tasks.

This article sets out to broaden our understanding of the significance of authenticity, locality and language for the development of a do-it-yourself (DIY) rap music career by taking male rap artists in Austria as an example. Drawing on interviews carried out in 2014–2015 with two groups of rap artists from different social and cultural backgrounds who embarked on their rap music careers in the early 1990s and the early 2000s, we analyse their rap lyrics and the social and economic contexts in which these individuals became rappers. We examine how the artists articulate claims to authenticity by appropriating African-American rap styles, meanings and idioms and blending them with local languages and references to local cultures and national politics. We also examine the rappers’ relationship to the music industry and the use of informal channels for the production, performance and consumption of rap and hip hop in general. The article suggests that the DIY careers of these rap artists depend on both the rappers’ use of music to articulate claims to authenticity and their ability to form (trans-)local networks for sharing skills, knowledge and other resources, as well as on Austria’s cultural policy and the changes in the music industry that have taken place in recent years.

This research discusses the phenomenon of rap in Manggarai and the representation of locality of the songs. To figure out this phenomenon, the textual examination on the song lyrics of “Ruteng is da City” composed by Lipooz is particularly selected as the object of study to identify the local elements of the text (lyric) which are represented in the song as the form of the identity of Manggarai rap. The identification of local elements is based on cultural-melding-and-mediation concept proposed by Lull. Meanwhile, in analyzing the representation of locality in the text, Durkheim’s theory of Collective Representation is adopted. According to the research result, it is concluded that the song text of “Ruteng is d City” contains the collective experience of the community, norms, the symbolic code of the town (Ruteng), and the local commodities of the town. The local elements found in the song represent Manggarai traditional culture that includes beliefs, norms, values and philosophical views of Manggarai society which essentially form the identity of Manggarai people.

Given the increasing relevance of verbal aggression in today’s society, the goal of this study was to assess the relative contributions of potential demographic and sociological factors. Emerging adults were surveyed, and the data were analyzed using correlations and hierarchical regression. While television viewing, video game playing, and music listening were positively correlated with verbal aggression, only (rap) music listening remained significant when demographic and other sociological influences were factored in. Overall, the hierarchical regression analysis found religiosity, parental and peer influence, quality of neighborhood, sex, and media usage (listening to rap music) to be significant contributors to verbal aggression among emerging adults. Male participants reported more verbally aggressive behavior than women, and African Americans reported more verbal aggression than White respondents. While media usage seems to play a significant, but relatively small role, other demographic and sociological factors such as gender, neighborhood, religion, peers, and parents appear to be major contributors in the development of verbal aggression among emerging adults.
