Hip hop music promotes rape and sexual assault through graphic lyrics that depict 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 I appreciate it. She doesn't even know it. Since when was putting a drug in a woman's drink and then having sex with her acceptable? Last time I checked, it was considered rape. Another rapper, Lil Wayne, says, “Beat that pussy like Emmett Till.” » Guess who Emmett Hill was? It involved 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 to the level of violence Till suffered. There are a lot of songs that I sing along to because they have a really catchy beat, but when you dissect the lyrics, you'll realize that you've totally misunderstood the meaning of a song. Take for example Robin Thicke's popular song "Blurred Lines", he actually talks about rape in this song. These Pop Songs Are Just Some Examples of How Song Lyrics Encourage Rape.
