This article discusses the recent change in stance that refers to rap and rappers in the field of cultural production in Brazil. The group Racionais MCs, a core for the domestic rap, so much so that they have just determined a hegemonic trend for this genre, has been moving away from that revolutionary stance that was the mark of their initial years. I set forth that the increase in power of consumption and democratization in the access to technology and education are aspects that leave a mark on the experience of the rap generation (called the "new school"), personified in Emicida, and have led to the repositioning of the Racionais. I redeem what was said by Antonio Candido to propose that this new position could be deemed "radical".
