Hip hop intertextuality as dialogue : rap and pop culture in follow-ups and hashtags

This article explores intertextuality in contemporary Polish rap (Dwa Sławy) by examining hip hop techniques that create intertextual references such as follow-ups and hashtags. Chorąży’s conclusions bear on literary studies (patterns for deciphering hashtags, the definition of the follow-up) as well as cultural studies. Focusing on references topop culture and other rap texts, Chorąży argues that in most recent hip hop songs, intertextuality represents both areal dialogue with the audience and asubversive intervention in the thought patters of reception.
