RESUMO:

The present dissertation aims to investigate and understand american ethno-racial relations, focusing on the themes of cultural appropriation, authenticity and whiteness, from the artistic universe of rappers Vanilla Ice, Beastie Boys and Eminem. I develop an analysis of the discourse and content of the lyrics of these artists trying to understand how they racially declare themselves if they address issues involving legitimacy, authenticity and cultural appropriation, if they argue against possible criticism of black rappers, if they manifest their social class, if they have already used or use the word nigga, what they think about racial mixture, white privilege, white supremacy and racism. I also seek to understand the audience of each artist and the factors that mark a difference in their acceptance in the Rap scene. For this purpose, I also explore imagery resources, which include album covers, CDs, photos and video clips of rappers, with iconographic / iconological analysis. Based on new concepts developed in the previous study on Brazilian white rappers such as "Racionais pattern" and "blackened white", as well as from data revealed by the present study, I extend comparative appreciation between the US and Brazilian context, seeking the understanding of both in their different aspects, whether convergent or divergent. The research reveals how whiteness conferred privilege on such artists and how the label of cultural appropriator was less problematic than the inauthentic one. It also reveals that authenticity / legitimacy is an indispensable and determining value for white rappers who seek respect in Hip-Hop scene. And the construction of this merit does not necessarily go through the approach of racial themes in their lyrics.
