Hip hop music promotes rape and sexual violence through explicit lyrics that describe rape and violence against women in particular. Rick Ross, a famous artist in the world of hip hop, includes the following lyrics in one of his best hits: “Put Molly all in the champagne. She doesn't even know it. I brought it home and enjoy it. She doesn't even know." Since when is it acceptable to put a drug in a woman's drink and then have sex with her? Last time I checked it was considered rape. Another rapper, Lil Wayne, says, "Beat that pussy like Emmett Till." Guess who Emmett Hill was? He was a 14 year old black boy from Chicago who was violently beaten and killed in Mississippi. Tell me how this doesn't promote rape culture? These lyrics are extremely offensive to women because they compare a sexual act at the level of violence experienced by Till. There are many songs that I sing because they have a really catchy rhythm, but when you analyze the lyrics you will realize that you have completely misunderstood the meaning of a song. Take for example the famous song by Robin Thicke “Blurred Lines”, in this song is actually about rape. These pop songs are just a few examples of how song lyrics promote rape
