Women in Song Lyrics
"I said it must be ya ass cause it ain't ya face." This is a quote from a very popular song today by Nelly about a woman. Objectification of women in song lyrics is something mostly used in hip hop. It has become a "cool" thing to degrade women through song lyrics. There are several artists today that use this as a tool to sell their music; the three that I will focus on are Nelly, Ja Rule, and Outkast. There are also those artists who challenge this degrading of women. One of these artists is Christine Kane. Nelly is a very popular hip hop artist today, whose music is very well known. Nelly's song, "Tip Drill," is a song completely about the objectification of women. It includes lyrics such as, "It must be ya money, cause it ain't ya face.....I got you payin my bills and buyin automobiles.....I know you a trick go spend that shit," "turn that ass up mama put that dip in ya back," "now baby girl bring it over let me spit my pimpjuice," "I need a freak to hold me tight....for seven days and seven nights....I need a freak that will not choke....let me stick it down her ohhh," and the chorus, "I said it must be ya ass cause it ain't ya face." This song is sending listeners the idea that a woman
When I met her at a party she was hardly acting naughty," "Darling, you sound like a prostitute pausing. It is sending the message that what is important on this girl in the song is her eyes, lips, smile, hips, and thighs. The lyrics include, "But this is MTV you know and that is how the music goes. In other words, what is important is her body. can say some prayers and blaze a path and I'll just say on their behalf there's no such thing as girls like that. These lyrics are telling men that it is okay to view and treat women in this degrading way. There is an overall unrealistic image of women in the world today. they believe that girls like this actually do exist," "Maybe these are fantasies. I got a fetish for fuckin you witcha skirt on. Finally, Outkast is another hip hop group that uses woman as objects in their lyrics. There are several other artists today that objectify and degrade women.
