Cause: Rap Music

https://www.thecrimson.com/column/where-rap-meets-race/article/2018/2/27/whererapmeetsrace-installment2/

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.
