Did you know that majority of the Hip Hop industry music sales come from the White community? Wow! I did not know that! The video we watched in class was really interesting because it talked about music that the class basically listens to everyday. In this music there are lyrics and videos that display masculine identity that men display inside as well as outside the industry. There is a lot of cursing and violence in these industries and personally I think this displays and insecurity of these men. Like where did all of this originate? Why does violence attract so many people? It’s like when rappers rap about violence and talking bad about girls the listeners of this music get so attached to it and try to make their life into this fantasy portrayed. I have to be honest though. I listen to this music a good bit, but I just really enjoy the beats rather than the lyrics. I just think it Is important to not get attached to these lyrics because all of it is FAKE in my eyes.
Some words I learned … Homo irodism- An example of this would be LL Cool J with his shirt off, sagging pants, and tattoos.
Also the phrase Bitch ass niggas feminizes men
I thought this video was really nice to watch and I loved the comments the class shared throughout the video.
