Music Rap Hip hop Misogyny Lyrics Content Analysis Women have been marginalized in our society for years. Even as they have begun making strides towards equality, they are still being marginalized in one of our society’s most popular and highly influential facets, hip hop culture, but more specifically rap music. This study examines the use of stereotypes within the content of misogynous rap lyrics and then compared and contrasted with their use in misogynous R&B lyrics. This study found that the stereotypes most commonly used by rap artists include the Freak, the Gold Digger, and the Stripper, while only the Freak stereotype was used often by R&B artists. Further research is necessary to determine if the use of these misogynistic stereotypes might be one of the reasons that there are fewer women rappers than there are men rappers. 2007-07-13 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1178296739 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1178296739 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
