Hip Hop is getting treated unfairly?

First, most people like to start by blaming hip hop for degrading women. Oh my gosh, who do you think sign themselves up for these videos. If you want to blame anybody for being degraded, blame these women. Example, The Game,

video "Wouldn't Get Far". He is putting down these women and they are singing along with him in the video. Second, if you don't know all hip hop, then you can't judge it as a whole. Nobody doens't want to blame the record industry for not wanting to put out variety of hip hop. They put out the candy hip hop because nowadays most people like to party, so they are putting out cd's that work for the clubgoers. I think coming down on hip hop after this whole Don Imus thing was really stupid. The man was wrong. I don't think most black women would let any man of any race directly call them a "nappy headed ho". Get it right. Most important, black women don't even rule the music video, every other race do.

Every genre of music gets treated unfairly. I remember how much grief heavy metal got during the mid 80's. Rap in the 90's and so on. If people didn't have something to complain about, they'd die of boredom I guess.

Pipe down!
Most of the Hip Hop or Urban or whatever it's called these days that I've heard puts down women and figures of authority. I don't recall Heavy Metal or even the underground English stuff ever doing that. Also, they use words and terms in Hip Hop that the rest of the ethnicities aren't allowed to use because they're degrading or prejudicial then they get all hot and bothered when someone else uses those same terms.

IMO, what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. If the popular Hip Hop artists refer to their own ethnicity with certain terms then so can the rest of the world.
I agree with Sporrega... Pointing out the problems with Hip Hop and any other urban music doesn't let Don Imus off the hook. It just brings some very important issues to the forefront. If people of any race won't treat their own women with respect, how can they expect everybody else to? And while you're correct that black women don't rule video, I'll bet that if every black woman refused to buy that trash, and refused to condone their men buying it, things would change. It's all about the money, and as long as people buy garbage, garbage will be produced.
I don't know what you mean by "unfairly" since hip-hop is all the rage these days (at least in Brazil) but you have to admit, it IS rather detestable.
The problem is that hip hop has lost the passion it once had. Rappers or Wannabe Artist really aren't that talented with all the nonsene they talk about and the way they just sample other music, it's ridiculous. Hippty Hop will be dead soon I hope because it really sucks and the Homies can't figure out the ENGLISH language so they use the N word and all of the other IGNORANT words to get their music played. THE WORLD WILL BE A BETTER PLACE WHEN THE HIP HOP DIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
