I BLAME the SOCIETY we live in!! Is not only the rappers, even film-producers, publicists etc.. do the same… they always like “honey if you show more skin, you’ll get the role” or ” you’re really talented, and we do LOVE what you do but we want more skin!” OR “I want to see more sex in your lyrics!!!”Mike 22.

Videos just synthesize and concentrate imagery and language which is already deemed acceptable in mainstream society anyways. We just get shocked at the magnification of it all. They’re really no different from a Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition and an Andrew Dice Clay standup routine. Is it sexist? Absolutely, but so it society at large. It’s also racist that urban artists get scape goated for all this.Starful 22. Jul, 2010 at 8:26 pm
I don’t understand how video vixens could ever be responsible for this foolishness. It’s sad to see how women are always expected to take responsibility for men’s bad behavior. Men are capable of excercising self-control and decency. If they can’t than they need to be held accountable, not run behind the “well she let me do it” excuse.
