Özet:

The dimensions of secularization in Turkey show itself in a concrete way in the integration of religion and popular culture. The state of unidentification in possession of the dimensions and limits of this integration accelerates the erosion of religion in the popular culture pot. This synchretic combination, which develops between religion and popular culture, shows itself as a specific field in rap music. Rap music, one of the rockets of Hip-Hop culture, is mostly known in the form of ancient/classic rap, popular trap and Islamic rap in Turkey. The study detailedly not included the hip-hop culture and history, and the top three musical flows were taken to the center. However, the music flows have not been specifically referred to in the literary knowledge, and in the context of popular culture, it has been promised to evaluate Islamic rap music and place the stages necessary to understand the outcomes of the field research. In this context, a semi-configured interview was conducted with religious participants aged twenty to thirty who described themselves as a rap music listener. The approach of mainstream rap music listeners to Islamic rap music, which increases their visibility in society, has been measured and the presence of a private audience has been questioned. Although the study has not been reached to the Islamic rap music audience alone, the main stream is the viewpoint of religious individuals who listen to rap music, religious and rap music integration. As a result, the relationship of rap music with popular culture, the variables were questioned by participating in the religious parameters, and the study ended with the findings that feed the paradigm of secularization.
