representation of men and woman in genre

Hip-Hop/ RnB

Hip hop is a male dominated genre in which authenticity has been identified with masculinity having lots or money, nice cars and homes, lots of women, the men are usually african american. Female artists have traditionally faced many barriers in entering hip hop and have been marginalized as performers and not taken seriously.  Women are usually classed as objects not human and in alot of rap/hip hop/RnB music videos and and often not wearing much clothing so are represented quite bad in that way. women usually have to come across quite masculine to get heard and taken seriously in hip hop. Currently hip hop and rnb are becoming very popular there are more and more female rappers getting in the industry all different races and ethnicity's and not being so stereotypical.
