Misogyny in rap

So I was over here the other day, NO ONE HAS DONE IT BETTER and there was a healthy debate on Jay-Z and his misogynistic lyrics, and how he has claimed in interviews to have turned a corner and no longer use the word bitch, and that he is ashamed of his previous work.

How do you guys feel about misogyny in the game? Is it just for entertainment, or does it go too far?

[Waynasite]

I don't even know what this word means

I don't even know what this word means

dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women.
"she felt she was struggling against thinly disguised misogyny"

[KnockMeOut]

I actually do still find it shocking when I actually think about some of the shit these people say lol. I just find it quite disgusting.

[WeEeEeEzZzZyYy]

jay z still says bitch in his lyrics tho

[Lil wayne prezident]

Wayne the worst

Yeah jay does.

Em and Wayne are terrible for it, but even drake is bad on features. Aww that look like what?s her name, chances are it?s.. ? No Lie

There aren't many rappers that don't say "bitch" in their music

is it acceptable now days though?

No-one goes in on Chris Brown despite his lyrics being super misogynistic, and despite the fact that he beat the FUCK out of Rhianna..

I just find it weird, in such a pc world, that this is still acceptable

it's not acceptable. But when women accept it, are proud of the label even, then what do you do? It becomes the way it is.

I think that's so true. Eminem said it a few times, you don't listen to the lyrics. On syllables he nailed it. Look at robin thicke's blurred lines! It was massive and women adored it, till someone pointed out it was one of the most disgusting songs ever.. All of a sudden they go oh yeah.

People don't listen to lyrics close enough IMO..
