Recently in class we have been discussing the use of gangsta rap in society to discriminate against alot of different groups of people. We have discovered that the lyrics in some of this music can promote many different types of violence, especially against women. They make it seem like women are something to be used and made to be worthless. The rappers that promote this type of thing are very misguided on what they should be putting in their videos. Saying all these differnt things about women in their songs like calling them hoes and bitches, can make their audience believe it is okay to treat women with that type of disrespect. And that certainly is not how anyone deserves to be treated. These entertainers have to realize that their music is listened to be a broader audience then they make expect, and they may have younger viewers they are appealing to that really shouldent be exposed to those ideas. Promoting violence against women, and in general supporting violence is not a responsible way to expose yourself to the public.
Rap supports alot of negative views on the way of life that children are beign raised in today. They make children think that stealing, assualt and even murder are a part of life that is to be just dealed with. When really no one should ever have to go threw some of those things. Suppoting these ideas really speaks to rappers character that they have nothing other to rap about then pimping hoes and killing for no reason.
