ABSTRACT Mobile telephony and the Internet have ensured that digitized communication is a routine in which everyone engages. Since music artistes use their songs as archival tools in documenting social events and changes, we consider, in this study, the (re)presentation of Computer Mediated Communication in Nigerian Hip-hop. To this end, six purposively selected songs by six Nigerian hip-hoppers are subjected to textual analysis. It is noted that the cross re-territorialization of CMC in Hip-hop was explicated thematically through depictions of internet crime, romance and the necessity to be successful regardless of prevailing challenges. Slangification using technology-based lexis was further identified as a means to code online criminal activities as well as sexual relations. The findings reinvigorate a post-digital popular culture phenomenon and reflect Nigerian Hip-Hop as a cultural signifier of the contemporary crisis of identity and prevailing post-colonial realities

当嘻哈遇到 CMC：尼日利亚嘻哈的数字话语

摘要 移动电话和互联网确保数字化通信成为每个人都参与的例行公事。由于音乐艺术家将他们的歌曲用作记录社会事件和变化的档案工具，因此我们在本研究中考虑了尼日利亚嘻哈中计算机媒体传播的（重新）呈现。为此，对六名尼日利亚嘻哈歌手有目的地选择的六首歌曲进行了文本分析。值得注意的是，CMC 在 Hip-hop 中的交叉重新地域化是通过对网络犯罪、浪漫和不顾普遍挑战而成功的必要性的描述来主题化的。使用基于技术的词汇的语言化被进一步确定为对在线犯罪活动和性关系进行编码的一种手段。
