I had a struggle session with some comrades the other day who said Hip Hop was bad because it degrades women and teaches guys how to be misogynistic. I felt that the perspective paints the genre as one thing and is an unfair generalization despite some aspects of the music being sexist in nature. I get both sides of the argument and wanted to see what you all thought.

Now look again at the problems people have with it as a genre.

Meanwhile Rock n’ Roll and Country out there with songs about pedophilia on the radio.

Rap isn’t just black and even it was should that exempt the lyrics from being criticised?
