    Hip Hop misogynistic?! Cole had a song called Foldin Clothes on his last album! Common's The Light is a classic hip hop song. There's hundreds of hip hop songs lifting women up.

    But three times as many calling them ? , ? , saying they can't be trusted, praising ? , actual drugging of women for sex and general hate towards women.

    Let's not abandon the facts here. That ? has created a culture where ? are applauded for NOT calling women ? and hoes on records. Shouldn't that be the standard?

    Calling women hoes and ? should be the aberration. That ? has been normalized. Its not hip-hop's fault but its ignorant to say it ain't the majority of the ? being released now.

    You also can't compare to any other artform because no other arform shows such disdain for women.

    Since the late 80s ? been called suckas and simps for addressing women respectfully or for making actual romantic love songs.

    It is what it is. I helped the ? along. I bought and still play some disrespectful ass music but I recognize it for what it is

    Ma ? how the ? do you know this?! Do you listen to a lot of rock? Country?

    Feel free to post up some country and rock songs that are as demeaning as rap songs.

    Look that ? up yourself bro. I'm not here to school you on misogynistic country and rock songs. To ? on Hip Hop as whole for being misogynistic is disingenuous and wrong.

    These ppl saying go listen to Common and Lupe must think that we are dumb.

    How TF would a few counterexamples show that hip hop -- as a whole -- is not misogynistic?

    "As a whole" means that there will be cases that do not fit the overall pattern.

    I don't think there is anybody on this site that would say that every hip hop artist or every song is misogynistic.

    She was emulating the negative aspects of black people

    Rap for the most part is super negative.

    That's why I'm asking. Is it black culture?


    Because I've been to many different states and rap music of today. Is not black culture.

    No rap music "for the most part" is not negative. There are rappers who talk about negativity and there are rappers who talk about uplifting the people. There are tons of variety that hip hop offers depending on your mood or preference.

    For every non negative you pull up I'll drop 5 negative ones.

    And you'll see rap if negative for th most part. I don't even know why you would think different

    This is what it all boils down to. It didnt work out. It was a phase that went terribly wrong. She acted like a $40 backpage hoe, got treated like one and got tired of it.

    Rap is too misogynistic but pop, rock and country can advocate grown ass men ? underage girls. Apparently this is fine with Miley considering she made a career out of looking like a teenager.

    whole
    adjective

    1. All of; entire.

    All it takes is ONE counter example to render your argument false. We can bring thousands to the table.

    Got what she needed outta the culture then tossed it to the side. Got to stop allowing these folk to vulture, especially when it's obvious what their intentions are.

    IMO if someone doesn't go through it's all about the elements Hip Hop stage is just a faze and they truly don't love it.

    I saw this tweet posted in the Kendrick DAMN. thread and I chuckled...




    I feel and think most women lowkey like misogyny directed towards them (privately) but wanna be down with the feminist crowd and their ideology ... just when it suits them



    Is (some) rap music sexist and misogynistic towards women? Yeah most of the time but the music that celebrates women doesn't get burn on the radio like that but I digress...




    like that tweet above some or most women would shake their ? to songs depicting them in an unsavoury manner with no ? given and you got cats in here caping. LOL



    And finally feminism in the modern era has to be the biggest con ever. A man who was heard encouraging his friend to just 'grab women by the ? ' was elected as President of the United States









    ... by a large majority of women
