Bitpe Fiasco's Bitch Bad
Bitch Bad If words are a rappers tools for success, then that’s exactly what Lupe Fiasco did when he wrote his latest video “Bitch Bad”. Lupe in this song is blatantly explaining that the word bitch should never be used to describe or feature any women. Thus Lupe starts the song off “Bitch Bad, Women Good, Lady Better, They misunderstood”. When Lupe said women better, he meant that calling a women “bitch” is a term that should not be used to associate a lady with, and that the women is the right term and even the word lady is a higher step. But to understand Lupe we have to track back the origin of how the word “bitch” is used in rap music. The Kairotic action that motivated Lupe too even have a video would have to relate to all the

    The genre of hip hop music inspires use of the generalizing term “nigger”. Hip hop music allows the term “nigger” to be a normal thing to say. When nigger is used in a song it gives people of every race an excuse to use it. Certain words from song only can end up in a person’s vocabulary. In the song “Real Nigga Roll Call” by Lil Jon and The East Side Boyz, the variation of the word “nigger” is used over 95 times. After hearing nigger over 95 times in one song, the word is going to stick. Rappers should take responsibility for music they put out in the music industry. Rappers could be more positive and help a lot more people out. An…

    Hip hop culture in general has nurtured a dualism within messages sent by lyrics. Nowhere was this duality more evident than the music of Tupac Shakur. As music reflected his reality and at times he’d reference women with derogatory terms, however he showed a level of responsibility with songs such as “Dear Mama” and “Brenda’s got a baby”. The lack of respect was noticed by many. Stress and the need to make a hit increased, he became a sex symbol along with a flock of “haters” trying to kill him. The flirtation with the materialistic trappings that the RAP game has to offer. “Forced laughter”(Shock-G), it was that Tupac was unhappy and this was speaks through his…

    McLune wrote about the discrimination of black women throughout hip-hop. The dominate rhetorical appeal used by McLune is pathos, which “is an emotional appeal that involves using language that will stair the feelings of the audience” (Hooper, etal 86). She complains about being a black woman and hearing the excuses for men when they talk about women in hip-hop and how it is just okay with society. McLune is also irate about the fact that Eve, who is a female rapper raps about women in a bad way and doesn’t seem to think that, that is not right. Another type of appeal McLune uses is logos “which demonstrates an effective use of reason and judicious use of evidence” (Hooper, etal 86). Back in the 60s it was wrong and considered unfair to demonize colored men, but yet the men in today’s society are disrespecting colored women. The author explains how record labels exploit this and benefit off of the disrespect artist show black women. The least used appeal by McLune is ethos “which establishes the speaker’s or writer’s credibility” (Hooper, etal 86). Hip-hop owes its success to woman hating. Few artist dare to be different and not speak badly about women and the ones that do, they don’t make it clear that they feel it’s disrespectful for rappers to demoralize women which is not good in…

    In her essay “Hip-Hop’s Betrayal of Black Women” Jennifer McLunes states that “Hip-hop owes its success to the ideology of woman-hating”(222). She states that hip-hop condones an attitude of objectification, sexism, and homophobia. That rarely does an artist break the mold of rampant sexism. While she is right that some lyrics may be interpreted as chauvinistic and perhaps even sexist, this is not majority of the music. McLunes argument is not valid because hip-hop’s artists, the environment it is born from, and its culture is a celebration of materialism not misogyny.…

    Not only that, but am I the only one who finds the term “beat the pussy up” to be abusive? Of course, Lil Wayne isn’t the only one guilty of it. Plenty of rappers have used this terminology in their songs and it seems to be becoming a disturbing trend. Also, am I the only one who needs to state that a woman’s sexual organs should never be either “beaten up” or brutalized? Because if so, than that’s something that should be said a lot more. It just sounds so savage.…

    Elizabeth Austin Response

    Austin first states that the word should be deleted from our use, but before that we must remove the people who use the word. “Let’s get rid of it. Scholars of social norms say all that’s necessary to remove offensive language from public speech is a critical mass of people willing to take up cudgels against it.” (Austin 6). There are tons of people who use the word and are not willing to get rid of it because they are so used to it. It is one of their words for colloquial language. Austin then describes how women went through different kind of words that described them. ““Produce and animals is what we were,” she recalls. “We were ‘chicks’ and ‘lambs’ and birds’ and bitches,’ and there was always the infamous ‘cherry’”” (Austin 6). She relates this to women because women were able to change the social norm of being called different things. Austin shows that since women can change the social norm, then society can get rid of the “F” word.…

    Snoop does take it a little far when referring to women…what rapper doesn't? Dr. Dre, Eminem, Fifty Cent…all at some point have referred to women as objects instead of WOMEN, but why single out just Snoop Dogg? Has he done something even worse than Eminem calling his own mother a whore? It's just the music, they are just notes on a page and words from mouths. I feel bell hooks needs to do more digging because Eminem speaks worse of women than Snoop Dogg does, even though Snoop has the pictures and Eminem just has…

    Jay Z's autobiography

    • 393 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Throughout the memoir Jay Z almost translates his lyrics to some of his songs for the audience. He includes the popular song 99 problems. “If you're having girl problems I feel bad for you son / I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one” is the line and Jay Z explains it as “In this verse, the bitch is a female dog, the K-9 cop coming to sniff the ride. When I was living my version of this story, we got away – the K-9 unit was late, and the cop let me go. We were back on the road again, hearts pounding, crack still tucked untouched in the stash, when I saw the k-9 unite screaming up the high way going in the opposite direction” (61). He ties this into his past as a dealer which started when he was very young and how he knew that since most people had not gone through what he had, audiences would not understand what he meant by using the word “bitch.” Jay Z says that it is what seems to be the punch line, making it seem like the last word someone gets. He says that most rappers include this infamous line in their songs, “Their voices were big, like their beats, but naturally slick, like hustlers’. The rhymes were crisp and aggressive” (9). This hints to the notion of masculinity needing to be emphasized. He also mentions that he…

    Nowadays, many racist and corrupt words are being used in hip-hop and rap music. Unfortunately, this genre of music is always played on the radio which is the main reason to why kids, in our time, know and use a lot of these inconvenient words. The only sensational conclusion people came up with to stop the use of such lyrics is the banning of corrupt terms from hip-hop and rap music and the prohibition of these inappropriate words is what John H. McWhorter discusses in “Banning Words from Hip-Hop and Rap Music Would Be Beneficial” (2008). McWhorter’s an African American man and the author of many books on languages and on race relations. His previous works show us that he has the capability of writing about the use of language-related topic.…

    They use to label it as conscious rap.However that was tossed to the side while these homophobic and sexist lyrics were now put into place. It is what our kids hear and see on a daily basis. As a result along with, these new found gangster rappers. It has brought about a more violent lifestyle. They are now teaching about guns, sex, money, murder and a drug dealer’s life. Meanwhile, it is now introduced in today’s social and networking database. Yet, many people generally have a major dislike for rap due to the fact that its newfound ways are allowing a lot of individuals to choose a more or less horrendous way of living. Its homophobic and sexist ways are just some of many reasons why people therefore tend to forget about what rap was once based on or what it stands for in all aspects. In the old days, Rap meant unity and the fight against injustice. It was a way to educate the public. Two major rappers that come to mind are Slick Rick and Queen Latifah. They are great examples of the good old days. Where the was a voice that lured other to be compassionate, caring and loyal with a loving mind…

    Women In Hip Hop Culture

    In the rap world they are treated almost as accessories so rappers can prove that they have made it to the top. There was a famous book released by a former video vixen named Karrine Steffans, who was known as “superhead” in the Hip-Hop world, depicted the degradation of women in the world of hip hop. Sex appeal is now the currency by which women in the music business are valued, as the saying goes “sex sales”. I feel as though some of the best songs are the ones where they are speaking the truth about the conditions in which some black people live in the ghettos or projects. Rappers should not get penalized for telling their stories and that’s what rap is about, it’s a form of expression, they should be able to express themselves in their music anyway they want, that’s why we have the first amendment. I do not think its necessarily glorifying street life or prison life because it’s their truth and their reality. Is it any different from a person writing a book about the street life or prison life? Hip-Hop has changed over…
