Özet:

Music, when considering the forms of performing it, its functions and its effect on people, is a very difficult branch of art to define. As music can be performed with instruments, it is also possible to perform it vocally. In addition to the music itself, the verbal elements that accompany it carry the traces of the culture, as well as the emotions, thoughts and dreams of the person who makes it.  When considered from the point of view of intertextuality, no text comes into existence independent of the culture in which it is created; the one who creates the text adds cultural elements to the text consciously or unconsciously. These cultural elements may be faith, belief, value judgment, or a phrase. In the introduction of this study, intertextuality is emphasized in the theoretical framework.It is pointed out that cultural values, as a way of continuing their existence, should be included in the intertextual process and they should be used in new contexts as needed. Later on in the study, the idioms in Turkish and their basic characteristicsare outlined.It is stated that the characteristic of idioms being established phrases can be changed within the context in compliance with intertextuality.Definition and properties of rap music, which constitutes the research area of the study, and the fields in which the rap music is active in Turkey are mentioned; information about Sagopa Kajmer, whose songs were analyzed within the scope of the study, is given. In the review and evaluation section of the study, it was found that the idioms were used quite frequently in the songs of Sagopa Kajmer, while some of the preferred idioms were used in their established form, others had their syntaxesor words modified. In the examples from rap music, which is known to have criticism on its basis, it is seen that the idioms that have a negative meaning are generally preferred, and criticism is made through idioms. It was determined that with all these usage characteristics, idioms are included in the intertextual process in rap music, and this situation is considered as a contribution to the updating of the idioms that have cultural qualities and to continue their existence in new contexts.
