Rap music is mysoginistic towards women, especially in their sexualization. por Mind Map: Rap music is mysoginistic towards women, especially in their sexualization.

1. "Yeezus is a relentless spleen-vent against the women in his life — the women he's fucked or wanted to fuck or who fucked him over or lied to him or whatever, that's occasionally provocative thanks to political asides that West has done more with more nuance and humor in the past." (Soderberg)

2. Mysogny

2.1. Women depicted as "objects of violence or male dominion." (Cundiff)

2.2. "Adams and Fuller (2006) assert that rap music reduces women to objects “that are only good for sex and abuse,” which “perpetuate ideas, values, beliefs, and stereotypes that debase women” (p. 940) (Cundiff)

2.2.1. "power over, objectification of violence against women to be prevelent." (Cundiff)

2.3. "women represent success, and they are treated almost as accessories" (Albert)

2.3.1. "misogynistic rap has been accepted and allowed to flourish, generating wealth for some of the artists and the music industry as a whole." (Adams)

2.4. "Rap's misogyny has been treated as a given. And that's just as dangerous." (Albert)

2.5. The violence in hip-hop, once used as a wake-up call, is now banal and predictable." (Linden)

2.6. "Misogyny in gansta rap is the promotion,glamorization,sup- port, humorization, justification,or normalization of oppressive ideas about women." (Adams)

2.7. Unoffended Women's Justifications

2.7.1. NYU, informally surveyed 100 women

2.7.2. "I believe these downward comparisons can be made to fictional characters such as prototypical "hoes" or "bitches" featured in songs in addition to actual people. They're not talking about me so it doesn't really matter what they say." - detachment (Rauch)

2.7.2.1. 'Although the terms 'bitch' and 'ho' and their definitions are being used to describe a certain type of woman (as some artists claim), their use and the images they create oppress women as a group." (Adams)

2.7.3. "If you attack the person who is making a joke about you, it often acts as a reward for their efforts and encourages them to continue. It's just not worth making a fuss over. What they say doesn't really affect me unless I let it." (Rauch)

2.7.4. "I know it's offensive and attacks my gender but I just like how it sounds enough to tolerate it." (Rauch)

3. What does this mean?

3.1. "desensitized to the derogatory lyrics condoning relationship violence and sexual aggression" (Cundiff)

3.1.1. Consumers of rap are usually between 16-30 (Cundiff)

3.1.2. "Every time an artist who uses misogynistic over tones is given a platform( e.g., T.V. award shows) to spout misogynistic ideas, this ideology is further legitimated and the listener or viewer is further desensitized." (Adams) 

3.2. "Listening to misogynistic content may also attribute to listeners’ “expression of similar attitude in their own lives, including accepting the objectification of women." (Cundiff)

3.3. "When children watch television and see someone throw money in the air, with lots of cars and women, that image is stored in their minds as the definition of success." (Albert)

3.4. "The negative representation of women in rap, along with the overt of the glorification gangster underground, materialism, and violent crime, as seen in rap's conceptual metaphors, has likely caused many to view rap music as degenerative and problematic." (Crossley)

3.5. "Think of the whole discussion of "whirlpooling"this past summer, where girls would be assaulted in swimming pools in the Bronx and elsewhere.Talk to the victims and they'll tell you that these boys just have no sense that young women are deserving of any kind of respect." (Linden)

3.6. "If what an impressionable youth sees and hears is negative, society should not be surprised to see the youth act accordingly. Young women can internalize these views, incorporate them into their consciousness, and act out in self-destructive ways. Young men may also internalize these characterizations and incorporate sexist and misogynistic ways of being into their own way of life." (Adams)

4. Sexuality

4.1. Music contains more sexual content than other media outlets (Cundiff)

4.2. "videos typically showing women half-naked with the intentions of obtaining more listeners and viewers"(Albert)

4.3. "When are rappers gonna stop dissing their rivals by telling them they fucked their women ("bitches")? We're not chattel." (Shephard)

4.3.1. RUN-DMC "taunted 'suckerMC's, sad-facedclowns'" (Linden)

4.4. "Album after album names women as bitches,hoes,gold-diggers, and so on. The chicken heads, representation of women as sexual objects for men's use is a common trope in rap music." (Crossley)

4.5. "The objectification of women through metaphor in rap music has likely helped to sustain the conceptualization of women as a commodity." (Corssley)

5. Beginning

5.1. Rap music began in the late 1970s as a cultural expression of the Bronx youth. (Adams)

5.2. RUN-DMC

5.2.1. "In the beginning, women were hardly mentioned in lyrics and videos. If you look back at the RUN DMC days, Reverend Run and the gang always rapped about different life experiences." (Albert)

5.2.2. First rappers on American Bandstand (Linden)

5.2.3. "taunted 'suckerMC's, sad-facedclowns'" (Linden)

5.2.4. "The group single-handedly turned rap from a playground thing to an across-the-board money-making thing, linking the aesthetic of the streets to the pocketbooks of the malls" (Linden)

5.3. "Greg Tate says in the poem "What Is Hip Hop?" that hip hop.is the first African American art form that was pimped by black folks before white folks got their hands on it. It's minstrelsy again, but at least black folks are getting paid."(Linden)

7. Now

7.1. "Radio rap is now controlled by major labels to such a degree that it seems as though saying hateful things about women is one of the few rote topics that rappers can get away with on the airwaves. Rap on the radio is no longer a voice of the streets. It often helped call attention to the epidemic of violence in urban areas, reminding the comfortable that there was a pointless drug war still going on. It is not a coincidence that journalistic details have been rubbed out of popular rap; it is not a coincidence that misogyny is still pervasive." (Albert)

7.2. "Although rap music has been on the open commercial market since the late 1970s, overt misogyny in rap did not emerge in this genre of music until the late 1980s." (Adams)

8. Why?

8.1. "Some artists may use such lyrics to gain status, recognition, and high volume sales, when they may not personally believe in what they espouse." (Adams)

8.1.1. " So you have to remember, most of these gansta guys don't live the life they talk about." (Run - Linden)
