Why is it in rap and hip-hop music videos, those s****s are dancing around?

Question

Looking like a booty-call and all. It's weird.

Answer 1

I dont like rap b/c it almost always degrades women and the videos prove it..

Answer 2

They have been using women dancers in video's of all sorts since MTV started. I agree that the clothing is getting smaller but basically it is all about sales.

I would like to see some women singers with male dancers for a change.

There is a folk-rock-dance group here in Hungary called NOX.

The singer is a beautiful women and she has a troup of about 8 male dancers at her beck and call, my next door neighbors son is one of the dancers. Sort of a different twist to the whole sexual thing.

Actually  my neighbors son is a classic trained dancer and it is a good paying and exciting job where he gets to travel all over the world.

Answer 3

i dont know but i hate rap and in real life they'd never get those kind of girls, but then again who wants a s***k lol  

Answer 4

Stupid black people think a girl is some kind of prize. It totally degrades women. d**n blacks.

Answer 5

those women are s****s.i don't like rap because it degrades women and objectifies women as s*x objects and refers to women as hoes,b*****s and talks about f***ing women,about wanting to get head and bs like that.i mean not all rappers do that but a majority of them do

Answer 6

It's just eye candy for viewers and it makes the ratings go up for that video or song! They are really not s****s they are dancers!!!!!! you said dancing around though booty shaking is not dancing they still are out to catch the ratings and the women in the vidoes do that for them ! all publicity  thats  all!

Answer 7

why only target rap music? theres "s****s" in EVERY genre of music. Commercial and popular music exploits women regardless of whether its rap, country, rock, you name it. if theres money to be made and CDs to be sold, you bet theres gonna be some half-naked women involved somewhere. women have been exploited in entertainment since the beginning of civilisation, it didnt start in the bronx in 1979 with two turntables, its always been there

this video has half naked girls wearin a confederate flag bikini...and THEY IN MICHIGAN, A NORTHERN STATE

i dont even gotta explain this one

commercial hip hop is the way it is because of CONSUMERS, not because of the rappers themselves. Pop-rappers talk about cars and hoes because thats what sells records, they know that people will buy their music if a half naked chick is on tha cover & in the videos.

dont get mad at rappers, they just doin what america wants them to do. if there was no market for their products it wouldnt sell, and yet the albums keep goin platinum. the fact that violence and s*x sell so well in the united states is an indictment of the AMERICAN mentality, not necessarily the mentality of blacks, or youth, or rappers themselves. dont blame the artists, ask your fellow americans why they even like the stuff in the first place if its allegedly so bad. Also, if you hate rap cuz of the way women are portrayed, then you must also hate television, religion, movies, advertising, radio, alcohol and even dentyne ice chewing gum, because ALL of those things have exploited the sexuality of women to achieve an ends, whether that goal was sellin you a 99 cent pack of gum or a 40$ bottle of rum.

Answer 8

For the same reason that women AND men are sexually exploited in any music video that is about sexuality.

There's videos where women are the main celebrity singer in their own videos, who willingly flaunt their sexuality and bodies for ratings, and female fans love it and try to be like them (Madonna). That is no different than women doing the same thing in the background as dancers, only they aren't the celebrity singer. Men show off their bodies as dancers in videos as well. s*x sells.
