Hip Hop #1

The fact I choose is Rap music as a whole is disrespectful to women. This statement in my opinion is false because women aren't always the only one's who are disrespected in the music industry. There are rappers who disrespect each other out of a gang type thing. There may also be men who look at rappers and their music from a women's perspective. A quote supporting this opinion is "I mean, it's this real ironic sort of thing in hip hop, that it is such a homophobic culture oftentimes and yet it's so completely homoerotic. You know when L.L Cool Jay's got his shirt off and he's lickin' his lips, it's not just women lookin' at that. You know, it's, it's guys too. There is some awareness of the homoeroticism, but people aren't...really willing to confront it."-Tim,m West, Rapper. There could be a model man on television and there are times when, since men are around each other and they don't want other's to accuse them of being a homosexual because they are looking, they would all just cover their eyes and like act like they really don't want to look. But if they were alone, they probably would look. The reason I don't agree with this fact is because of two specific things. One is that women aren't the only ones who are disrespected by rappers, because you have men and rappers who are constantly disrespecting other men and rappers all the time. The second one is that rappers now and days disrespect men who are supposedly "faggots" or "p******". So it's not really safe to say that women are the only one's who are disrespected. You have men who are disrespected as well.
