Download or read book The Influence of Rap Music: African American Adult Males' Perceptions of Females written by Samyra Alexander and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critics of Rap music proclaim that Rap music has the ability to influence belief systems, while advocates of Rap music argue that Rap music does not influence belief systems. The present study assessed whether listening to Rap music influences African American (AA) adult males' perceptions of females. It was hypothesized that participants who prefer Hard-core rap music (music consisting of sex, crime, and drugs; Haskins, 2000) as opposed to Playa Rap music (music discussing designer clothes, shoes, and million dollar homes and vehicles; Haskins) would more likely have negative perceptions of women. African American adult males (aged 18-34) who preferred Rap music were chosen using the snowballing effect. The participants were given a demographic survey, two scales from the Sexual Attitudes Survey (Burt, 1980), and one informational letter. The results suggested that African American males who prefer Hard-core rap music tend to score higher on the Sexual Attitudes Survey than those who prefer Playa rap music.

Book Synopsis "It's Just Music - Right?" by : Cameron Khalfani Obuya Herman
Download or read book "It's Just Music - Right?" written by Cameron Khalfani Obuya Herman and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hip Hop culture has received a significant amount of criticism from scholars and public figures for the emphatic celebration of violence, misogyny, and materialism commonly at the center of its most prominent mass media products (hip hop music and hip hop music videos). Researchers have attempted to measure the influence of hip hop mass media on violence, male/female relationships, drug use and other social phenomena within African American communities. Yet, quantitative and qualitative researchers often interpret the relationship without questioning whether or not hip hop mass media actually has an impact on African Americans' lived experiences as men and women in a highly stratified society. The purpose of this study was to explore hip hop mass media's relationship with African Americans' conceptualization of gender roles. Findings from in-depth interviews with eight African Americans revealed that the respondents reported no relationship between hip hop mass media and their perception of gender roles. Respondents reported that socially expected gender roles were fulfilled in accordance with the needs of the household rather than the dominant schema for gender roles. The family system emerged as an important factor in mitigating the influence of hip hop mass media on African American youth, a group the respondents identified as very influential group. Future studies should investigate relationships within the family system that mediate between youth and the social world.

Book excerpt: Author's abstract: This study explores the African-American males' perspectives of whether his identification with the hip-hop culture affects his academic achievement. Many Black males have embraced the popular culture of hip-hop with its glamour and style, but many also continue to fall behind in school or dropout. The use of qualitative analysis allows the participants in this study to speak of their experiences with hip-hop and education. Glesne (1999) writes, "Critical Race Theory as a theoretical framework allows the ability to listen well to others stories and to interpret and retell the accounts [which is] is part of the qualitative researcher's trade" (p.1). It also permits the counter narratives of these Black males' perspectives of the quandary of his educational experience to be heard. Sixteen Black males from age 14 to 21 participated in a random questionnaire that measured their level of their identification with hip-hop. Six of the participants also participated in a focus group and individual interviews to discuss in depth their experiences with school and hip-hop. The following themes were prevalent in this study: hip-hop culture is a lifestyle but there are those who try to emulate the style; Their definition of hip-hop consists of rap music and style of dress, along with speech or how they talk; hip-hop is not a passing fad; hip-hop is viewed as a mood regulator; hip-hop culture means money or making money; the hip-hop image affects educator's perceptions; Hip-hop is all they know. The study will enlighten educators as to African American male's perception that how they look affects the treatment they receive in school.
Book Synopsis Why White Kids Love Hip Hop by : Bakari Kitwana
Download or read book Why White Kids Love Hip Hop written by Bakari Kitwana and published by Civitas Books. This book was released on 2006-05-30 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our national conversation about race is ludicrously out-of-date. Hip-hop is the key to understanding how things are changing. In a provocative book that will appeal to hip-hoppers both black and white and their parents, Bakari Kitwana deftly teases apart the culture of hip-hop to illuminate how race is being lived by young Americans. This topic is ripe, but untried, and Kitwana poses and answers a plethora of questions: Does hip-hop belong to black kids? What in hip-hop appeals to white youth? Is hip-hop different from what rhythm, blues, jazz, and even rock 'n' roll meant to previous generations? How have mass media and consumer culture made hip-hop a unique phenomenon? What does class have to do with it? Are white kids really hip-hop's primary listening audience? How do young Americans think about race, and how has hip-hop influenced their perspective? Are young Americans achieving Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream through hip-hop? Kitwana addresses uncomfortable truths about America's level of comfort with black people, challenging preconceived notions of race. With this brave tour de force, Bakari Kitwana takes his place alongside the greatest African American intellectuals of the past decades.

Book Synopsis Pulse of the People by : Lakeyta M. Bonnette
Download or read book Pulse of the People written by Lakeyta M. Bonnette and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hip-Hop music encompasses an extraordinarily diverse range of approaches to politics. Some rap and Hip-Hop artists engage directly with elections and social justice organizations; others may use their platform to call out discrimination, poverty, sexism, racism, police brutality, and other social ills. In Pulse of the People, Lakeyta M. Bonnette illustrates the ways rap music serves as a vehicle for the expression and advancement of the political thoughts of the urban Black community, a population frequently marginalized within American society and alienated from electoral politics. Pulse of the People lays a foundation for the study of political rap music and public opinion research and demonstrates ways in which political attitudes asserted in the music have been transformed into direct action and behavior of constituents. Bonnette examines the history of rap music and its relationship to and extension from other cultural and political vehicles within Black America, presenting criteria for identifying the specific subgenre of music that is political rap. She complements the statistics of rap music exposure with lyrical analysis of rap songs that espouse Black Nationalist and Black Feminist attitudes. Touching on a number of critical moments in American racial politics--including the 2008 and 2012 elections and the cases of the Jena 6, Troy Davis, and Trayvon Martin--Pulse of the People makes a compelling case for the influence of rap music in the political arena and greatly expands our understanding of the ways political ideologies and public opinion are formed.

Book Synopsis Sexism in Rap Music by : Sebastian Wolf
Download or read book Sexism in Rap Music written by Sebastian Wolf and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2005-06-23 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1.3, LMU Munich (Amerika Institut), course: Proseminar: Popular Music and American Society, 1955 - Present: an Introduction, language: English, abstract: In this essay I want to take a close and broad look at sexism in rap music. There are many questions that have to be asked. One would be, in which ways rap music is sexist at all, how do rap lyrics degrade women. Therefore one has to take a look at the texts of rap music. One has to take a look at the lyrics. This is what I will do in the first part of the essay. I will present some lyrics and without difficulties show the misogynistic elements in them. But this is only one component of this first part of the essay. I will also focus on the other issues that are directly concerned with men. As a premise I understand sexism as primarily coming from men directed at women. Of course by this I don’t mean that rappers are speaking directly to the women they degrade or that they speak exclusively to them. They speak primarily to fellow men, whereas they of course know that their music will also be heard by women. What I mean is that wherever sexism is it is primarily originated by men and it degrades women. That’s why, as a kind of groundwork, I will talk about the issues concerning men at first. Here I will discuss what the reasons for sexism could be. In the second part of the essay I will focus on the other side, on the side sexism is directed at. Here I will take a look at the women. I will do this especially in two respects. At first I will take a look at female rappers. One important question here is: how do female rappers answer their male counterparts misogynistic messages in their lyrics? Another topic of importance is the relationship between male and female rappers. Here a distinction has to be made between what female rappers think of sexist males and how they respond to the issue in public. We will see that they on the one hand condemn what male rappers do but one the other hand don’t condemn them in public. We will have to see what the reasons for this contradictory behavior are. Another group of women should not be forgotten. These are the ones who are willingly supporting sexist stereotypes, women who more or less fit the descriptions of misogynistic accusations. I am talking about groupies and the young women who are dancing half-naked and sexually stimulating in music videos. Above I said consciously that sexism is primarily coming from men. [...]
