Cause: Rap Music

This article expresses the change from rap music being taboo to popular. The problem is the underlying misogynistic tones and hypersexualization of women. These lyrics had proven to have a negative impact on wellbeing according to the "Demographic Research." The article strives for rappers to make a change in the music they produce but I also think it needs to call upon the consumer to stop supporting these messages. As consumers, we have to power to make a change with what we buy, because if the rap industry began to lose money on this they would stop producing this imagery.
