Song lyrics contribute to violence against women part 1

Your at the bus stop and a few women next to you have their ipods on and are listening to some music.... They begin to sing along with the lyrics

If you don’t mind girl put your legs over my shoulders
Don’t lie, I can see it in your eyes
You want for you and I to do the freaky things you like
When I put-put-put it on girl, when I put-put-put it on ya
When I put-put-put it on girl, when I put-put-put it on ya


[Verse 1]
Let’s ride around the city, make love in the car
Let’s get on express way, let me tease you ma
And while you drive baby, I wanna taste your tongue
Pull in to rest here, and let me give you some
You ever been driving while your man made you cum
I wanna hit a stay, I wanna hit and run
Let’s pull the car over, and have a little fun
The AC working, so we ain’t gotta bun

[Bridge]
Can I lick it, can I stick it, can I touch it, can I grab it
Baby tell me can I have it
Can I rub it, can I flip it, can I hold it, can I get it
Anyway I wanna get it

Shocked, you cant understand why they are dancing in their seats and singing along to the music...The lyrics are degrading and dehumanize women as nothing more than sex objects...

The hip-hop culture in the United States can be traced back to the streets of New York City in 1970. At first, people would read off poetry to different beats of percussion. Over the next few years this form of poetry progressed to have a more musical beat provided by a DJ. Soon, this form of music was commonly known as rap, and in 1979 it began to enter the American mainstream of music. Now, it is a popular genre of music that tops the charts and is being performed in many different styles around the world. Even though rap is extremely well known, it has developed a reputation as being explicit, violent, and disrespectful. Since the beginning of rap music, artists have used derogatory lyrics about women. Today, these degrading lyrics have become more brutal, and more common to hear.

For example,The nation's No. 2 Rap hit, "I'm a Flirt," by R. Kelly and Bow Wow, is No. 15 on the pop chart and talks about "pimpn" and "ho's" - shorthand for whore. The song has been downloaded as a ringtone 433,000 times:

"Ima b pimpin

I dont be slippin

When it come down to these hos

I dont love em."

Here is another example of a song the shows how rappers see women as nothing but a tool to use and abuse....



here is a song from lil wayne

got stopped by a lady cop
ha ha... she got me thinking i can date a cop
ha ha... cause her uniform pants are so tight
she read me my rights
she put me in a car, she cut off all the lights
she said i had the right to remain silent
now i got her hollering sounding like a siren
talkin' bout...
wee ooh wee ooh wee (yea),
wee ooh wee ooh wee (yea),
wee ooh wee ooh wee (yea),
and i know she the law, and she know i'm the boss
and she know i can hide a-bove the law
and she know i'm raw, she know it from the street
and all she want me to do is f**k the police
talkin' bout...
wee ooh wee ooh wee,
