Women and Hip-hop

Since the birth of Hip-Hop it was viewed as much more than just music; it was viewed as a culture that represented a large community while lacking any female presence. Women's first introduction into hip hop began by playing more of a background role such as dancing in music behind the male rappers. In the early years these dancers were fully clothed they were seen as more then just eye candy. Not only did they really dance in videos but they were not seen in bikinis looking like hookers.Now and days rappers rap about sexual things and talk about women in sexual ways and while the women are that video with two pieces of clothing shaking there behine it is giving them a bad look . Not just for them but for black women. Did u notice when a black woman is in a video she is considered a video girl or some sort but when you see a white female in a video with little clothing she is a model? why do you think this is viewed this way?
