110. Unpacking Black Masculinity And Hip Hop Culture(EP. 110)

NEW EPISODE of @niceandneatthepodcast available on all streaming platforms‼️  (EP. 110) Unpacking Black Masculinity And Hip Hop Culture(EP. 110)  Hard to think of hip hop culture and not think about black men.... Hip hop culture has been under scrutiny for its portrayal of hypermasculinity, often promoting aggressive behavior, objectifying women and taking shots at one another. This is a result of the industry's emphasis on power, dominance, and success, which can be seen as traits of toxic masculinity. Many artists use violent and derogatory lyrics in their songs, perpetuating harmful stereotypes and contributing to a culture that normalizes disrespect towards men and women. Moreover, beef or conflicts between artists are often glorified and sensationalized in the hip hop scene. This behavior not only promotes a false sense of toughness and dominance but also perpetuates the cycle of violence and aggression, leading to harmful consequences. J. Cole is almost viewed as weak, simply for apologizing about lyrics toward Kendrick Lamar he desired to retract.  It is important for us to recognize these issues and hold ourselves accountable for perpetuating toxic masculinity. As consumers, we have the power to change what artists and music we support, artists who promote positive values and messages. In conclusion, hip hop culture should be more conscious of the impact it has on society and strive towards promoting a healthier and more inclusive form of masculinity.
