Exploitation of Women in Rap Music Videos

Group Members: Sam Jones, Asia Brown, Semmes Gilmore

We are looking at how rap and hip hop artists exploit the women who are featured in their music videos. The sexual exploitation isn't just in how the women are portrayed in the video itself, but by the lyrics of the songs as well. We will be making a webpage to support our arguement.

This is a clever topic. There are not many academic resources, but I think that you will be able to get a lot of information.

I recommend in your webpage, insert videos of "Youtube" or a similar sight to give a visual and auditory examples to support your topic. You can do a lot with this topic.

I think this is a great topic. In cacse you need more resources, MTV and Bet did a research on the same topic. I guess you can search their archive and find information.

I also think this is a great topic. Many people do not realize that music videos exploit women and just view it as something to watch; however, i think there is a huge message to be said about that.
