The discussion about the metropolis is present in the way of thinking about a part of the geographic space where most people live in peripheral areas. Several ways of analysis can be made to understand the metropolis and one of them can be through music. Rap within the teaching of Geography is a possibility to work with the contents and concepts in the organization of geographic knowledge. In this way, the present text seeks to approach rap as a didactic-pedagogical resource to work with contents about the metropolis in the teaching of Geography. The qualitative methodology is based on the interpretation and analysis of the rap Boca de Lobo by the singer Crioulo, based on the lyrics and the video clip. It seeks to use rap as a form of analysis and discussion, contributing to education and the promotion of critical thinking, dialoguing with geographic knowledge. As a result, rap enables a form of art expression that can make the student re-signify the world in which he lives, building explanations through its cultural tools allied to geographic knowledge.
