2) 'Queen Latifah's U.N.I.T.Y which won a Grammy in 1993, presents the perfect starting example of a black woman bringing wreck in Hip Hop.' - Check it While I Wreck it: Black Womanhood, Hip-hop Culture, and the Public ... - Gwendolyn D.Pough - From this, racial issues are brought up as stereo typically, within the hip hop industry, most of the rappers are known to be black according to today's society ever since rap originated from Brooklyn, NY. However, contemporary white artists such as Eminem and Macklemore have fit into the rap/hip-hop place claiming their places as 'brilliant rappers', linking to the cultivation of these white rappers trying to fit into society allowing them to become more like the other successful rappers.
3) 'The song is also an instance of outspokenness in that she calls attention to sexual harassment, domestic violence, and the influence negative images of black womanhood have on black women.' - Check it While I Wreck it: Black Womanhood, Hip-hop Culture, and the Public ... - Gwendolyn D.Pough - Linking to sexuality and sexism being an extremely controversial topic within the industry of rap and hip hop and this will help me talk about the negative impacts that rap has upon society leading back to the question asked originally.
4) 'As we categorise artists along the lines of positive and negative, good and bad, skilled and stupid, we should pause and reconsider our strategies.' - Telling the audience to reconsider judging themselves before judging other people within the music industry.
5) 'Many of Biggies music videos celebrated the trappings of wealth, while scantily clad women surrounded men [...] There were lyrics of hustling and lyrics of sexual exploitation.' - Again linking to sexual references, showing women to be inferior to men portraying them to be their 'bitches, hoes' usually not giving them enough respect opposed to men. Also, it shows what rap is usually about 'hustling' meaning a strive to get money usually by doing negative things such as selling drugs or stripping for example being a disadvantage and making a negative impact upon the audience for the genre on rap. - Prophets of the Hood: Politics and Poetics in Hip Hop. By Imani Perry
6) 'Hip-hop exposes the current punishment regime as profoundly unfair. It demonstrates this view by, if not glorifying law breakers, at least not viewing all criminals with the disgust which the law seeks to attach to them' - Much Respect: Toward a Hip-Hop Theory of Punishment - By Paul Butler - Showing a sense of more negative topic of sensitive discussion talking about how rappers are negative rapping about things such as breaking the law and how it may be 'glorified' and by doing this may encourage a sense of violence to the listeners of the lyrics as they may want to be like their idols which include rappers such as Lil Wayne for example.
7) 'The ghetto, in all of its negative complexity, is still heralded as an idealised space for minority teens teens within rap's cultural discourses precisely because its considered as being somehow what 'real' than other spaces and places, leading Robin Kelley to the observation that "to be a 'real nigga' is to have been a product of the ghetto.' - The 'Hood Comes First: Race, Space, and Place in Rap and Hip-Hop
By Murray Forman
