In many rap videos women have no identity except as sexual playthings and "eye candy"
I agree with the fact that In many rap videos women have no identity except as sexual playthings and "eye candy" because in basically every single music video (especially in the hip hop genre) there are half naked women dancing and wearing ridiculous outfits showing their boobs and bum. They're are always wrapped around the finger of the artist and the artist can make them do whatever they want them to do. The men are basically using the women as toys there is never any talking between the men and women which shows that they are just used. A example is Robin Thickes Blurred Lines.
Since 'The Thong Song' the music industry have found it acceptable to take advantage of women in their videos and the bar is ever being raised higher as to what limits they can go to exploiting these women no one knows who is responsible to stop the explicit content in these videos getting worse and worse.
Most of the successful hip hop videos are the ones that contain the half naked women. This is because even if the artists music is bad people watch the music videos just for the women in it as it gives pleasure to them. This shows the way that music but in particular hip hop is going it is more based on the women and not on the music.
So much money is being made from this industry just because of men using women as 'playthings or eyecandy' the men use these videos for their pleasure because they like looking at the women.
The women have absolutely no identity, this is not what the men care about they are more interested in using them to look at and have sex with at the click of their finger which is not how it really is so is putting a bad influence on young people.
