Rap music has been implicated in constructing a hegemonic type of masculinity and portraying women in narrow ways. This study explored how masculinity is linguistically constructed in Kenyan rap music. The most relevant subjects were the male artists.

Data collection procedures included two main techniques namely, documentary sources and document analysis. The formal linguistic aspects of rap music texts were analysed using the pragmatic resources of denotation and connotation, presupposition and conversational implicatures. The analysis unravelled several discourses of masculinity. These were discourses of a covert prestige, heterosexuality, alcohol consumption, violence and aggression and lastly misogyny. The findings of the analysis discussed how rappers glamorise a hegemonic kind of masculinity and how women are portrayed in narrow and demeaning ways. 2018. 156 S. 210 mm Versandfertig in 6-10 Tagen, Softcover, Neuware, offene Rechnung (Vorkasse vorbehalten).
