the degradation of women is probably the number one con of rap music videos, not to mention the use of drugs like pot and alcohol. Also, sex seems meaningless to some of those rappers, which takes away from an act that is so private and sacred

the negative aspects are how they portray young women in society. Also rappers are the role models now for kids and teens. What they do, teens will imitate, even if it is tasteless.

The lyrics for one don’t mean anything and is getting harder to understand if you don’t keep up with the slang. The music videos have the same thing in them…money, HO’s, and cars. Every video has at least one of those things. AND I don’t want my little boy running all around the house screaming "F*($@ them h*#), shake dat a**?? It’s just stupid to me now. But that is just me.

Uh..nothing. Monkey see, Monkey do. if you are dumb enough to copy everything you see then you are basically going to make bad choices. Yes, rap is degrading but they are not putting a gun to anyone’s head and saying only like girls who have big butts and are pretty and sell drugs. The people that listen to this music are boys that were in the rapper’s position at once, living in a broken home and mother and father can’t support you. Noone to look up to (so they turn to the rappers who were in their shoes) When rappers go oh Im so rich I can buy this and this..that is putting them down and makes them want to do that too, and it also is giving them the idea that the only way they can make it out of their negative life is if they do sell drugs and maybe one day be a rapper so they drop out of school starts selling drugs and rapping on the side which usually leads to nowhere. except for the select few of rappers that did that.
Sorry this is so long but I do really feel strong about this. lol

That women are a piece of meat and can be bought. And they’re promiscuous. The language, narcotics, violence and so on.

most of them degrade women and show them as a piece of meat instead of human beings. most show violence and don’t speak english. they use slang and cursing words to express themselves.
some are okay but most are not.
most are drug/alcoholics who don’t think about the kids that look up to them. they don’t see the whole pic they just dollar signs. it is unfortunate that society plays up this hollywood ghetto feel. somewhere down the line it was okay to be trashy and that is supposed to be cool. like Bratz dolls for instants why is this consider cool. they look like whores why is this something we want our girls to play with or think this is okay. Bratz dolls are like the women that are in the rap videos, just like them. it disgusting! have you ever seen the hoes on flavor flav or rock of love? that is them, if you enjoy seeing women degrade themselves and men treating them like crap. then you would love rap videos.
but like i said not all are like that, but most are….

It actually makes people dumber, at the very least for the period that they that are listening to it or watching it.
It is barely classifiable as music and fits into that category of noise along with rage rock and pop music that lower society’s intelligence. Repetitive, uncomplicated, not thought provoking in any way.
Of course, not all rap music is exactly the same but in general it has this effect.
