In the music industry women are call B,s And Hoes if they dress a way that show there body off to much in are group girl world 2.0 we watch this hip hop movie and it was talking about how the girls were dress for the spring bling some had on bikini tops and small shorts and the ones that dress like that are the ones that are so call are the B,s and Hoes as the mans would say but the girls that have shirts and not little shorts are what they say are sisters they have class so what I’m trying to get across is that just because you have on bikini tops and small shorts does not mean that you are an itch or a hoe it the way you wear it if you have you a$$ out when you have on your little shorts I’m not saying you a hoe or an itch what I’m saying is that you don’t have respect for yourself and nobody would respect you it don’t matter if you is a sister or an itch or a hoe it depend on how you wear what you have on .

Hip Hop ... My Thoughts
I personally don't listen to hip hop as much as my peers. I don't listen to a lot of 2 chainz, future, waka flocka, chief keef. However, I do listen to at least a little bit of it.This is my thoughts on it all...In Hip Hop all they mostly talk about is gangbanging, killing, money, and "HOES". Yeah, most of the time when you're listening to the music you're not listening to what exactly their saying. Majority of teens only listen to it because it gets them hype. It gets them in that party mood. I know that's why I listen to Chief Keef. However, if you listen to the music carefully enough, who ONLY wants to hear about that? Then, when the young boys portray what they hear and go off killing people, or degrade women, it's an issue than. Well, it is an issue, but at the same time music is somewhat guiding these boys. Also, the way women portray themselves on these videos. I watch videos less than I listen to the hip hop music. Yesterday was my first time watching the Tip Drill video by Nelly. One thing I was surprised about was Nelly swipping a card down the girls butt crack. I mean, I understand some women need money, some women like to be seen, etc. However, THAT was where I would draw the line. Why not be a stripper if you're gonna do that? I listen to more R&B if not anything else. Don't get me wrong, some rap music and hip hop is good. However, it's getting really ridiculous. Some rappers music make you FEEL stupid just by what they're saying. If you read the lyrics, you're like " what " ? Majority of upcoming Chicago rappers ONLY rap about shooting! "Bang,Bang" ! Being a "hitta" , doing "drills". I wouldn't want my kids growing up like that. Nas has a song called I Can which is VERY motivational and inspirational, so you can't say rapping about something meaningful is impossible. I don't know, I just feel like teens need to realize the difference about "good music" and "trash" , the difference between "music" and "reality". Just my thoughts....
A ManHood
Men in Hip-Hop Think they have to be aggressive, violent, and not care about woman. when in reality thats so not true. Hip Hop has this image that being tough is the "Style". Me myself LOVE Hip Hop and I sing every lyric there is. Not really caring about the meaning. But as I get older I see that the music I love Is actually Talking about Me. And not talking about me in a good way. I want the media to understand That we women also have feelings.
Hip hop manhood
I disagree that Hiphop doesnt represent man hood right. I say this becasue they dog the females and that is not good! I believe people should treat females like they would want a man to treat their mother. So I think that they should do things different in this life time.
In the movie, Byron Hurt interviews a man who says that being a man and being in a business are two different things. He said, “A man will tell his business I’m not doing that, I’m not going there.” Meaning that a man will stand up for what he believes and not necessarily what the direction of the business is. Do you believe this is true? Do you think this is true for rappers – meaning do you think they stand up for their beliefs or do they give the business what they want?
from what i see in in interviews is that it's just business and they just wont to make money". Many of the rappers as themself talk with with good morles and respect. than in video or songs they are refering to women to bit*hs and men as Ho*s to make men look less of a men or person.

Man vs Hip-Hop
"Rappers go in the studio as two people; who they are in reality and the 'Thug' of themselves."
Before watching the documentary entitled "Hip-Hop (Unbridged)" I never realized the depths of hip-hop and how it's more than just lyrics and beats, now I understand. In my opinion hip-hop does not represent manhood accurately. Hip-hop portrays men as thugs, flashy, sexist, homophobics, etc and that's not a positive way to represent men at all. Most rappers raps about gun play, gang violence, robbing and killing but even though it might be fake, most people think it's true. Most men in the industry has majority of people believing that if you don't have expensive cars, clothes and jewlery then you're powerless. Some men think that women has no place in hip-hop if they're not video-vixens. The men also refer to women as b-tches and h-es, showing NO respect. Most hip-hop artist show hatred towards homosexuals and even if they say they have nothing against gays, ACTIONS speak louder than words. Men are portrayed as something most of them are not but most importantly hip-hop does not help represent the manhood of men accurately or positively.

Does Hip-Hop Give Women Of Color A Sense Of Power?
Absolutely NOT. It makes them seem weak, and like they need a man to provide for them.... It kind of brings back that sense of women being second class citizens, doing what they were told by the men of the house, and being treated like property. It also makes women of color seem like they're all promiscuous, and they aren't lady-like. Hip-Hop makes women of color seem like they aren't needed for their intelligence, just their looks.
"Beyond Beats And Writing"
What Message Do Rappers Actually Portray? Most Rappers Rap About Gangs, Money, Drugs,Violence and Down Grading Women. They Don't Rap About Positive Things. Alot Of Mentality That they Observe Comes From Their Neighborhood, So Since They See It They Rap About What Ever Comes To Mind. They Pretend To Be Something They're Not And Tend To Have Two diffrent Personalities. Rappers Worry About What People Might say and Think About Them. THey Also Phemonize Other Men two Give Themselves A Name. Growing Up I Never Really Payed Attention To What I Listen To But Now I Know There's A Meaning To Everything And In Some Cases May TEll Who You Are. Now I Understand Why People Criticizes Hip-Hop.
As a woman, how do you feel when men call other men Pu*sies? I.E. use feminine qualities to make men feel inferior. Do you think this mean they think women are inferior.?
**As a women i think if a men calls another man a pussy they are tryna make them feel less of a men and like a women and i dont think it can be too bad when they say it because they like the CAT.

** I Think some rappers do tell there business just too stay in the rap game and to make there music sound like something. They make people want to listen to it even if it doesnt sound good they no what to say just to make people wanna listen to it so they no what to say But Some will stand up for what they believe in and not give out to much information just enough to get by and keep it only about buisness.
Is “manhood” accurately portrayed in Hip Hop videos and Hip Hop culture? If not, what do YOU think manhood means?
** I Think manhood means that they are open minded dont care what anyone thinks and respects a women as well as a men and they dont think that they are better than a women.

Is “manhood” accurately portrayed in Hip Hop videos and Hip Hop culture? If not, what do YOU think manhood means?
I think man shows off to much, and has the nerves to talk about other people when they still in the closet about things, so yeah i think manhood is protrayed by hip-hop.
As a woman, how do you feel when men call other men Pu*sies? I.E. use feminine qualities to make men feel inferior. Do you think this mean they think women are inferior?
I feel like no one should be calling shots about nobody, because the next person not big bad woof neither. but thinking about it seem as if that person trying to make it seem like women is less of a person.
Does Hip Hop perpetuate (continue to represent) stereotypes about black culture? If yes, what are some of these stereotypes, and how does Hip Hop contribute to those stereotypes?
Yes, because all they hear is about guns and men who selling drugs and sagging their pants, they dont see the other black people who are making good music and they look at all the black artist as bad people.

HIP-HOP WOMEN
I have come to a new understanding. When I used to watch music videos, I paid no attention to the girls dancing in the background, with the skimpy clothes, and the stripper dancing. They were there just to get paid and get used by the rapper. I used to blame the rappers and producers for letting these girls go out and portray there selves like that. Now I understand I can’t blame no one but the girls actually going out and making themselves seen like that. No one is making them dance or look likes that, ITS THERE CHOICE! After watching the documentery about hip-hop I understand women will only allow so much, and the women who dance in those videos with the nasty slutty clothes, ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BE LESS THAN THEY REALLY ARE.!
What Hip Hop Is to me
To Me Hip hop music is a musical genre that developed as part of hip hop culture, and is defined by four key stylistic elements: rapping ,DJing,scratching sampling or synthesis and beatboxing.
Does Hip-Hop give women of color a real sense of power?
I feel Hip-Hop does not give women a real sense of power because for the simple fact that they degrade women in their songs. In the hip-hop indusrty they do not respect women enough to call them by their actual name instead they call them b**ches and think that its alright. I feel they dont think like if it were their mother being called these names.
Hip Hop Sterotypes
It is said the in the hip hop industry that a man cant be soft. Where has this really come from? Well i think it came from something someone made up and that if your soft your not look at as a real man but i think thats a lie.All men didnt grow up the same way and some get tough for when they have kids to show them how to be a man but me personally i dont like anyone thats soft.
