(LYRICAL SEGMENTS IN HIP HOP AS SOURCE OF ETHICAL CODES)

This paper is about lyrical segment of hip hop music. Lyrical segment in hip hop music includes different topics and different contents. One of them is a social topic. In this social topic, we can talk about ethical dimension. Here, as a main idea, we have a comparison between ethics, as immanent philosophical discipline and hip hop lyrics. Namely, which part of hip hop lyrics has ethical dimension, how can we find that dimension in lyrics and how that dimension can contributes for better understanding the world around. Of course, focus is on the ideas, lyrics and artist which have that kind of constructive lyrics and messages, it doesn’t matter if that is personal or collectively story.
