THE WORDS HAVE CHANGED BUT THE IDEOLOGY REMAINS THE SAME: Misogynistic Lyrics in Rap Music

          The article by Douglas B. Fuller, "THE WORDS HAVE CHANGED BUT THE IDEOLOGY REMAINS THE SAME: Misogynistic Lyrics in Rap Music," the main examination is used in the misogynistic ideology that is in gangsta rap. Fuller discusses how African American women have been characterized throughout the history of music. Fuller introduces misogyny what he says is the hatred or disdain of women; this is the idea that it is ultimately reducing women to be objects to men. In gangsta rap, misogyny is a set if oppressive ideas against or used towards women that make their value go down, in a sense making them objects instead of humans.

          


Color-Blind Ideology and the Cultural Appropriation of Hip-Hop


          In the article "Color-Blind Ideology and the Cultural Appropriation of Hip-Hop," by Jason Rodriguez examines how hip-hop is appropriated towards white youths and how they adhere to the demands of color-blind ideology. The argument of the color-blind ideology is that it allows whites to have a place in hop-hop since hip-hop for the most part has been racially segregated. This ideology, says Rodriguez, that it is a way to remove coded meanings that involve race in the music scene and replacing them with color-blind ones which end up having no racial meaning.
