RAP-degrading women and encouraging violence one lyric at a time
Blog
Try finding a rap song that doesnt view a woman as only a sex object. Its ridiculous. Their idea of a love song is simply explaining all the things they would like to do to a woman. They abuse the world love when really every time they use that word they should insert the word f-ck. Like in akons song "I wanna love you" He begins by talking about how hot a stripper is and then goes crooning about how he wants to "love" her. Obviously he wants nothing else to do with her besides her body. There is also so much with "b-tchs and hoes" that it really puts a horrible light on women. No one needs to call a woman a b-tch and rappers use that as there main way of describing a woman. Rap has made it so a woman is only desirable for her body and if she has an opinion she is a b-tch. Its horrible and rappers need to re think what they should be rapping about so that they stop degrading women.


The medium plays with this message because in each way it is shown in a different light. In the text message it is informal and your whole point isnt being made. Its more of an emotion than a thesis. In a billboad you want to make a memorable statement that is short and to the point so you also cant explain everything. It is also less about your own emotion and more about making a point. In a blog entry you can be more specific and give examples as to why you feel this way. Once again it is about how you feel. In the paper I can use a combination of these ideas. I can play to the audiences emotions all the while backing up my points with specific lyrics.
