Abstract

The article proposes a debate based on Nietzsche’s propositions about the genealogy of morals and his ideas about the master and the slave morality, the herd morality and the free spirit, by taking all these tools to approach some rap lyrics. At the same time, inspired by a field research about education through rap in the outskirts, we intend to provoke new tensions in this thinker’s ideas, particularly by reflecting on the conditions that populations historically harmed in our society have been facing, with the understanding of the moral grammar of conflicts as proposed by Axel Honneth.
