In the Hip-Hop culture there are multiple
stereotypes that are prominent forces to overcome by everyone who embraces this
culture. Regardless if you are a music
artist, video model, or even a fan you are subjected to these stereotypes
throughout society. These negative
factors are the foundation of the stereotypes.
Because of the fact that rappers rap about things that they have lived,
seen or witnessed and most of those things were involving alternative
activity. Society has judged everyone
who makes music like that as either a thug, hoodlum, ghetto and all drug
dealers. That is not always the
case. I believe that because the some of
the music is that particular person’s testimony doesn’t make it right that
society judges all rappers the same. The
fact that a few of the rappers that society has judged before are now
successful and revered entertainers or businesspersons is evidence that
everything is not negative. Regardless
of it’s in movies or music hip-hop culture is everywhere. Hip-hop music is no more negative or
aggressive than other types of music; it’s just that society has generalized
that culture as having the most negative messages.
Hip hop began as a way of expressing situations in a
person’s life, and even addresses social issues from a different perspective,
but being ignorant about the culture and people who are in it is no excuse for
making stereotypes. Although there have
been tremendous strides taken in the advancement of understanding the
culture. If society would get to know
and understand the culture in depth I believe these stereotypes will finally be
put to rest.
