Resumen

The main subject of Racionais mc’s is the violence that structures Brazilian society. Their raps are narratives builtfrom the point of view of the suburb without the acceptation o f a historical humiliation inflicted on the poor black individuais with a deficient education. The group’s essential artistic value can be found the perfect match between the work’s techniques and the subject sung about.From the selection of words to the diffusion, ali the elements of work cause to the listener, not justfeelings or sensations, but a criticai reflection about the economic source (capitalism and standardization) and the social source (prejudice and racial segregations) of this violence, and its inevitable consequence (death)
