Make a connection between popular music today and one of the other themes we've talked about this semester, such as women & sexiness or men/masulinity & violence. Can you find examples of popular music either support the standard message of those themes or working against them? How important do you think popular music has been in spreading these ideas?
I would like to attempt to touch on "degradding women in Hip Hop music." I watched 10 music videos in a row, all from MTV hits, and i came to find that my relatity on this opinon is still the same. Sorry to say it ladies, but some of you are just sluts. It may not be you, but in the harsh reality its the truth. I have been to pleanty of concerts to see girls become groupies and it happends every night while us average people sleep. These artist tour around the world, show day in and day out, and if I didnt see it with my very own eyes I wouldnt believed it. Here in Cedar Rapids, Iowa at hawkeyedowns I have seen more naked breast in the same room , let alone one song, then most men see in a lifetime. Women go crazy for these rappers, they arent just there to act like a sluts, these girls in these videos are sluts. I am way beyond the point that any of these girls in these videos or at concerts are anything close to innocent. So when a person deals with these type of women on a day to day basis, and writes about his life, your going to hear songs that are degradding twords women. The women these artist deal with degrade themself. Personally I feel if your offendid by it, your a idiot, these girls are always going to be easy to these artist. I mean if you have a problem with it dont hate on the artist, hate the inspiration.

Okay, well, I agree with some things you say....but hooooold on here. You cannot blame women's sluttiness entirely on women.
ReplyDeleteHow about the men that make them that way? How about the fathers that were never there and only ever showed a view of love for someone who was easy, silent, and acted like a slut. They're probably going to act like a slut because that's all they know.
So I think men bear some of the responsibility for the sluttiness that you refer to.
I'm just elaborating what other rap artist say, I dont think you can blame a slut's inability to keep it's legs closed on the father, you can just blame them for being a slut..
ReplyDeleteYou just used your post to call me an idiot, and once that happens, I no longer care what your opinion is, because you have no respect for your reader.
ReplyDeleteI find it rather interesting that you refer to women as "it" in your writing. Do you really have so little respect for women?
