For this assignment, I would like for you to read the journal article by Charis Kubrin ” Gangstas, Thugs, and Hustlas: Identity and the Code of the Street in Rap Music.” After upon completion, please answer the following discussion question: In Charis Kubrin’s analysis of the ‘Code of the Street,’ she examines the role of hip-hop lyrics in reflecting and potentially reinforcing street culture. To what extent do you think music lyrics influence crime, if at all? Do they merely reflect existing social realities, or can they actively shape behaviors and attitudes towards violence?
