How does rap reinforce stereotypes?

Answer 1

Many current rap videos show the same three things. Lust for money, disrepecting women/sexual promiscuity, and violence.

I know many people who see the videos and think all black people are that way, not only that..but many youth see the videos and do their best to emmulate what they see there.

Answer 2

drugs gangs and violence they glorify it,

the whole so-called "bling bling" fiasco is very stupid especially the diamonds or gold on their teeth (grillzs is what they are called now) i find it gross

the cars these days cost more than their house putting PS3,TV and other crap in their cars which that can be a hazard on the road and most likely for auto theft.

and last but not least women,most of them will be in the videos with little or nothing on shaking their butts while having some Cash or Champagne on them i did seen one UN cut video or two where the girl about 19 bending over shaking her butt while the rapper swipe a credit card up her butt it is very degrading to all women every where!

over all I'm very disgusted on how rap is today and what sucks even more that the younger generation glorifies it
i think that today's rap is giving music,the African American community and women a very bad name.

Answer 3

By creating the sense that it is okay to just spend, spend, spend and never save. By having all the women in the videos appearing as sex objects and nothing more. By glorifying drug dealing and making seem glamorous and sexy, when it is the exact opposite. By making it seem as if all that you need in life is money, drugs, cars, alcohol, and women to be happy. I like rap music but a lot of it these days is just garbage.

Answer 4

Oh confident it valuable does.. what number black toddlers, in case you ask them what do they decide for to be while they advance up what could they say? a doctor, a scientist, a engineer or a rap artist? no longer attempting to be racists yet genuinely?

Answer 5

That's a question that answers itself.

I hate rap and everything that it represents, and what I hate more than rap are the people who glorify it.

I hate the people who can afford to buy FUBU for their 4-month-old but they can't afford to feed them.

I hate people who drive around in cadillacs with rims that cost more than the car.

I hate people who drive around in Escalades but they live in run-down shacks.

I hate people who pretend to be rich when they clearly aren't.

I hate people who milk the system for their own selfish desires when there are people out there who TRULY need assistance.

I hate people who wear gold teeth just because...ugh.
