Emo Rap Edit Meaning

1.

Sub-genre of rap.

As its name suggests, a combination of rapmusic and emo music.

While Afro-centric, alt rap/conscious rap, and political rap have been well received w/o debate; emo rap is the antithesis of most of hip hop’s essence.

Hip hop, in general, seeks to establish the alpha –- making a name for yourself via graffiti, being the illest lyricist/battle rapper, biggest balla/highest rolla, etc.

‘Emo’tions are a vulnerability in the armor of dominance.
