SOUND AND FURY: NOTIONS OF THE FOLK AND THE NATIONAL
IN THE REGIONAL HIP HOP AND ITS CRITICISM
The paper presents the challenges of the folk and the national determination in regional hip hop practices. In addition to the dominant comparative model of interpretation, an archetypal example of hip hop criticism is presented, written by Nenad Čanak, a Serbian politician in the early 2000s, on the occasion of the provocative song "Govedina" by Beogradski sindikat. Far from the criticism and discourse of today’s hip hop collective, the paper provides a different diagnosis of the indicated cultural situation and represents a model of a different approach to hip hop practices.
Keywords: Hip hop, criticism, folk, national, popular, singer talks.
