In this video there are multiple opinions expressed. In discussing the issues with hip-hop music there are multiple explanations to them. In an artists eyes there is nothing wrong with their music because they are using their freedom of expression to detail certain aspects of their lives. They feel that by calling someone a bitch or slut isn't a problem because they don't feel that all women fall under these categories, but they feel that some women are. The question to this then is why are there so many instances when women are called these degrading epithets. The argument is then brought back to the record company, and how it is there fault for promoting these ideals. It is hard to figure out who should be blamed for this, but the only thing that is for certain is that the hip-hop industry is make large sums of money, and more and more people are making it to the big screen. More wealth is being put in the hands of blacks who for the large majority of the history of the United States, and to this day still have economic inequality. Even though rap music seems to have bad effects on the community, it is a form of entertainment, and that is how it should be understand. I think the rap is being taken to seriously by its audience, especially since it has recently been over dramatized. The money that hip-hop promotes often promotes greed and other issues that stem from money.
