ABSTRACT
Rap music, having its roots in the hiphop culture as part of popular culture, is a site where german teenagers can express themselves. Bushido's existence and that of other german rappers who are multicultural and very successful in the music industry, can be called as popular culture phenomenon. Through two of his songs Bravo Cover and Alles Wird Gut, Bushido shows his identity as a non german rapper. In this bachelor thesis, the construction process of Bushido's identity in the arena of hegemonic popular culture is based on the "circuit of culture" scheme which analyses five aspects: representation, identity, production, consumption and regulation.
