As Bryson sings, “Gotta be sick of this guy, pull up, skrr, get in the ride” the girl comes to terms with the mistreatment she receives and leaves her boyfriend. Through his lyrics, Bryson Tiller is showing the woman the logical course of action and advising her to do what’s best for herself. The use of the word “skrr” is another crucial aspect of this song. “Skrr” is an onomatopoeia for the sounds of the tires of car that are made when the brakes are abruptly used at high speeds. In the same speeding manner and abrupt stop as the car, Bryson Tiller is moving fast to save the women he desires by immediately stopping the abuse she’s receiving. The sum of Bryson Tiller’s action can be understood in the simple, but powerfully moving hook, “Don’t, …show more content…

Several new era hip-hop artists based upon Drake’s introspective and emotional blueprint break misogynistic boundaries by connecting their personal life to their music. An artist such as Bryson Tiller exemplifies how a philogynyistic approach in hip-hop music has gained momentum and has positively influenced hip-hop. Even though the number of philogynyistic artists are heavily outnumber by misogynistic artists, their efforts have begun to shift hip-hop’s traditional ideological boundaries. Drake, Bryson Tiller and many worthy unnamed artists’ most successful moments arise when they focus on a woman’s situation and contribute to her well being. The emotions philogynyistic artists emanate feel tangible and real enough for anyone who has loved or been loved to relate with. Also, the soft, introspective side of a philogynistic artist allows for commentary on the relationship between masculinity and femininity to be accurately and equally evaluated. Hip-hop is not a one dimensional genre that only produces negative content, but a diversified genre that influences and impacts the world in a positive way. According to Trapp, “To understand the impact of hip-hop, we must not view it as monolithic, but as a one of the most diverse contemporary cultural expressions that possesses something of a “triple consciousness” in terms of race and gender” (Trapp 13). Although rap is massively dominated by nonsensical artists who create controversial music, there are brilliant rap artists who are transforming hip-hop for the

In “Azealia Banks” author James McNally analyzes arising rapper Azealia Banks in order to discuss post-racial politics where political elements of hip-hop and the systemic racial inequalities they address, have become gradually ostracized in favor of “color-blind” conceptions of United States society and pop culture. To do so McNally argues that Banks’ music video for “212” and her public rhetoric rearticulates ideas of the mainstream black female identity in hip-hop and confronts the white gaze. In “212” Azealia Banks raps about growing up in Manhattan and her reactions to the situations that she experienced and declares her dominance over all of her rival, while establishing her extensive “technical skill and stylistic versatility as a rapper (61).” Banks combines multiple hip-hop tropes, while infusing her own character in as well to

The idea of being emotionally open in Hip Hop was often seen as a negative, especially for woman. There was no room for vulnerability in Hip Hop. Blending that toughness with R&B and its themes of emotions, love, and vulnerability seemed almost impossible, but not for Lauryn Hill. “By centralizing emotion in general, and love in particular, on an album that is unabashedly a Hiphop album, Hill invites the theme of love into the center of Hiphop’s lyrical discourse.” (Bennett) Establishing herself as a creative force within the industry, her perspective and experiences as a woman and mother provided social commentary beyond the conventional topics of Hip Hop at the time of mainly sex, drugs, money, and gang life can be heard in every single song in The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

Hip Hop is seen as something inspiring, but most people see it as a way to speak out the truth about a problem. As in “Hip Hop planet” being able say the truth can sometimes worsen any situation because sometimes what we say can promote violence and whatever happens after is not in our control.

In her essay “hip hop’s betrayal of black women,” Jennifer McLune implies that “(h)ip-hop owes its success to the ideology of women-hating” (193). She does not agree with Kevin Powell’s article that hip-hop does not mean to “offend” black women, but instead artists are only letting out their temper throughout their music. McLune feels infuriated that many artists in hip hop (including black men) rap about their community and downgrade their own women. In the hip-hop genre, sexism is mainly used, not only by black men but also by many other race hip-hop artists. Artists assume that women-hating in their rap songs will be accepted by women, but do not realize that it is affecting all women.

¨If Hip Hop has the ability to corrupt minds, it also has the ability to uplift them.¨ Hip hop music, also called rap music, is a music genre developed in the United States by African Americans consisting of a stylized rhythmic music that commonly accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and rhyming speech that is chanted.
