Men and Hip-Hop
Hip-Hop is usually said to be a "mans game". In reality majority of men in the hip hop culture are only pretending to be tuff or any other way they are portrayed. Hip-Hop doesn't look at who is real and not. Nine times out of ten all of the men were told they would be going to the army most of them would chicken out even though they claim to be war veterans of the streets. Most men in Hip-Hop try to seem masculine not because thats who they want to be but because that is what sells records. Much of the time men in Hip-Hop are portrayed as these hyper masculine, thugged out players which is not accurate at all.
