Violence in music is
a growing problem. The
film Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats & Rhymes
states that homicide is at a high. Maybe that could be attributed to the
growing violence in music. As we all know sex, and violence sells. Look at
movies, commercials, TV shows, and even magazine covers. Its all ran by
big-wigs at large corporations. As in all music videos and radio songs, corporate media picks and
chooses what they air on the radio and television. Sex, and violence sells, so
some non-violent rap music might not be heard by the normal radio
channel-flipping listener. It is no secret that violence in music has been
normalized. Could the growing violence in music be contributed by the
patriarchal abuse that singers have witnessed growing up? Is this what they
think is normal?
I also found
this article interesting. Do you think hip-hop, and other violent music and
television/movies have contributed to gun violence?
