Negro drama no desafio da vida: como o princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana é evidenciado nas músicas ‘Negro drama’ e ‘A vida é desafio’ do grupo Racionais MC’s

Abstract

This study analyzes the songs "Negro Drama" and "A Vida é Desafio" by the group Racionais MC's from the perspective of Constitutional Law, focusing especially on the principle of human dignity. We explore how Brazilian rap functions as a powerful form of social critique and cultural expression, reflecting and advocating for fundamental rights through the narratives of social, economic, and ethnic minorities in the country. The research combines content analysis of the lyrics with an exploratory-reflexive approach, highlighting how rap influences the perception and application of human rights in contemporary society.
