From the suburbs and lower socioeconomic areas of New York in the late 1970s, a movement started taking form, developing into the first form of hiphop culture. It started as equal parts music and equal part as a way of political expression. A voice that spoke of the observed and often self-lived injustice, racism, and mistreatments of the minorities. This seed of hiphop hassince then spawned into the most played genre worldwide. Since then, a various number of subgenres have occurred, and this paper will focus about the subgenre gangsterrap. With every pop culture phenomenon there is news coverage, and the coverage of gangsterrap has often been target of critique and threats of censorship and the reasons of fear and critique have sometimes turned out to be true for example with artist proved being active gang members. We are therefore with the help of Bacchis analytical discourse method ” What’s the problem represented to be?” to gain understanding of media's representation of gangster rap in Sweden.
