Abstract:

RAP is an important part in Afro-American music. It is the keynote in the street culture, and a dark chocolate in the world of pop music. Rap has been wide-spread by the streets of Ethiopian culture and it has begun to circulate and develop a lot of branches. Eminem is an American rapper. Eminem’s biggest breakthrough is that white men can intervene in black men’s realm of rap music, and which was a great success. At the same time, his rebelliousness not only has a deep influence on teenagers; at the same time, he is also under attack by public opinion. Indeed, from another point of view, Eminem is a rascal. But he seems to have his own ideas. His music is very realistic. The controversy created different images of Eminem. Although in the early 90s, some people think that music which is full of dirty words and rebellious words will disappear soon. However, in fact, in the late 90s, with the appearance of new rap musicians, rap rock gave priority to white music. Music which was abandoned by black people has returned to the front edge of pop music again. Now, at least in the new century, the trend will not fade. The development of rap music does not only refer to black music; it also represents the trend all over the world and becomes the symbol of mainstream music.

摘  要：

RAP是美国黑人音乐中的重要组成部分，是街头文化的主要基调，是世界流行音乐中的一块“黑色巧克力”。 说唱被街头黑人文化所流传，并且衍生出相当丰富的分支。艾米纳姆就是美国说唱的代表，他最大的突破就是证明白人也能介入到黑人一统天下的说唱界中，而且获得巨大的成功，同时他的叛逆不仅长期以来深受美国青少年喜爱，也让他在舆论中始终遭到抨击。 的确，从另一个角度来看，艾米纳姆就是一个痞子。但他似乎却又自己的想法。他的音乐很现实。在争议中造就着不一样的艾米纳姆。尽管早在90年代初期 就有人认为这种絮絮叨叨，满是脏话粗口，叛逆词语的音乐会很快消失，而事实上，在90年代末，随着一批新进的说唱乐手和以白人为主的说唱摇滚的风行，曾经被黑人抛弃的音乐又重新回到了流行音乐的前端，至少在新世纪的现在，这个风潮还不会消退。说唱音乐发展至今已不仅仅是黑人的音乐，它已遍及全球，成为一种独具特色的主流象征。
