Abstract: Hip hop culture is often associated with less privileged public spaces. In addition to song lyrics and music videos, hip hop artists have also written autobiographies and memoirs since the turn of the millennium. In these, they construct a public self-image that is closely interwoven with the experience of spaces and also allows insights into the artists' gender identity. In addition to the experience of certain spaces, gender identity is another essential aspect with which hip hop artists establish authenticity and claim 'realness'.
