Abstract This study argues that hip hop, as a global phenomenon, is a complex assemblage of narratives and metanarratives, many of which are not necessarily direct, structured or causative. Applying Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of the rhizome, this study attempts a ‘mapping’ of hip hop in Africa through case study analyses of genge from Kenya and hiplife from Ghana. This representation helps in demonstrating and appreciating the complexity, multiplicity, fluidity and hybridity of African hip hop.

非洲嘻哈作为一种根茎艺术形式，参照肯尼亚的 genge 和加纳的嘻哈生活表达了城市青年的身份和抵抗

摘要 本研究认为，嘻哈作为一种全球现象，是叙事和元叙事的复杂组合，其中许多不一定是直接的、结构化的或因果关系的。本研究应用德勒兹和加塔里的根茎概念，通过对来自肯尼亚的 genge 和来自加纳的 hiplife 的案例研究分析，试图对非洲的嘻哈进行“映射”。这种表现有助于展示和欣赏非洲嘻哈的复杂性、多样性、流动性和混合性。
