Współczesna rzeczywistość społeczno-polityczna w tekstach rodzimego rapu

The article concerns the image of Poland in the texts of contemporary rap. This music genre came from the West in the 1980s and was adapted gaining fans and entering the Polish music mainstream. The text refers to the analysis of the albums "Alboom" by Liroy and "Jarmark" by Taco Hemingway. The main aim of the work was to analyze and compare the works of both artists working 25 years apart. For the purposes of the work, the socio-political reality presented by the artists was divided into the following categories: society, family, politics, and drugs against which the works were compared. Despite the passage of time and the use of other means of expression by artists, many of the issues they present are remarkably similar. Liroy, looking from the perspective of the 1990s, talks about problems that Taco Hemingway also sees after a quarter of a century. The author sees their cause in the persistence of the cultural moral norms of Poles (as well as in the heirloom after the Polish People's Republic).
