hip hop

"I jokingly say I'm in recovery from hip hop. It's like being in a domestic violence situation. You home is hip hop and your man is beating you."
- Toni Blackman, Rapper, Poet, Actress

Rap music as a whole is disrespectful twards women.

this quote and statement go together because the quote states that hip hop is like being in an abusive relationship...

and the statement says that rap is disrespectful to women...

Movie Comparisson

The two movies we watched in class about body image and how the media tells people how they should be were pretty informative. One of the movies were talking about how the media represents how women should look perfect and have no flaws.


the other movie that we watched showed how the media makes men look violent. and so, men in society think they have to be violent and masculant.
