Abstract:
The article seeks to articulate the possible meanings expressed in rap of the São Paulo scenario and the process of emotional maturation of the young, based on D. Winnicott's psychoanalytic theory. The sections are seen in three categories of analysis: a) Rap and the integrative processes; b) Rap and youth socialization; and c) Creativity without rap. It was found that the lyrics portray rap as an instrument which facilitates the use of psychic resources, in order to place the behavior on the egoic, leading the individual into a transforming position of self, contributing to maturity and emotional health.
