Abstract
It is probable that hip hop is a genre that has grown exponentially in popularity since its emergence in the late 1970’s. This paper explores the ways in which hip hop and rap have been observed as a misogynistic genre of music, how it can affect its listeners to be more misogynistic, and how it has become the most popular genre listened to today. In light of this information, this paper aims to answer the question of whether or not hip hop and rap have become more misogynistic and offensive in nature since the early 2010's. Through use of content analysis of three songs from the years 2013, 2016, and 2018 respectively, this author comes to the conclusion that hip hop and rap have actually become less offensive, and further makes the argument that this decline in misogyny should be continued.
