Misogyny in Hip Hop | Ellen Chamberlain | TEDxWayneStateU 

Misogyny in hip hip is crazy!!

"Tearing down women does tear down the community" just like studies show if girls and women aren't being educated and given the same (equal) rights as men the whole community suffers. Help women and you help the whole community to thrive.

What a sweet, intelligent lady!!! She explained this topic very well. I don't have respect for hip hop artists, who blatantly disrespect women through their lyrics or in person to their fans. To be honest, I like the instrumentation more than the lyricism.

I like hip-hop genre, and I am also interested in how to deal with women in this genre, so I watched this video. In this video, Ellen talks about the misogynistic lyrics that are common in hip-hop lyrics, briefly mentions the history of hip-hop, and tells us that these expressions have not been together since the beginning of hip-hop. The most interesting part was her explanation about this phenomenon through ownership and outlook. She says hip-hop has changed its format or style as the music market and industry change, which has led to a loss of ownership. She also explains that hip-hop's outlook began to be programmed differently than before due to the chain reaction. On the other hand, her views were new, interesting, and made sense. Nevertheless, it was also regrettable that these explanations alone could not be fully explained about the misogyny in the genre of hip-hop. Following Ellen's explanation, I wanted to look for other perspectives on this issue. Lastly, I would like to thank Ellen for her speech, and put a period with quoting her words which was very impressive. "Even though it seems like it's a really big problem, the solution is so small. It's as simple as shifting your playlist."

Sooo good. Thank you!! I hope She gets to give this talk again on a bigger stage. Amazing. I'm teaching History of Hip Hop to middle schoolers and this is just what they need to hear.

if youre mad at this you are apart of the problem! there should be no reason for men in hiphop to be talking about women in this way - period

I’m happy that hip hop acknowledges misogyny. Wish I could say the same for the sports community.

This is what it means to be hip hop. This is Awesome!

Thank you for this talk!! Amazing!!

Loved this talk!! Thanks Ellen for the education on this topic.

Great talk. Very informative. Thanks!

Oooo I wanna listen to her talk more. She knows what’s up.

oh my GOD THIS WAS AMAZING what a baddass Ellen!!!!!! So strong and powerful, great talk. Thank you so much for this.

Dope asf please do another one

This was a great content to watch & listen, articulately summarized in chorological order and meaningful.

Great talk. I remember when I was a teen and Queen Latifah came out with U.N.I.T.Y it felt so raw and powerful. She was saying things that other women were afraid to and or didn’t have a platform to say.

I love this video !

I liked the language, delivery and subject. Thank you.

This was a weird talk. How did she manage to lowkey slight Nicki Minaj yet recommend Kendrick Lamar to her audience as if Kendrick doesn't talk about women in the most demeaning way? So strange to me. And I haven't even checked out her playlist because I know Cardi is on there...and that's another antiblack conversation that folks aren't ready to have.

Hip hop is toxic now everyone can agree

8k views on a 30 Million view channel? 2019? RU-vid must not have liked what she had to say at all, buried this video. Without even watching I can tell this is probably going to be something very educational and true.

Gave them a history lesson AND stayed true to your topic, dope job buddy!!!

this woman is chill af

I’m afraid to look at this comment section

1968 had a group called the outlaw blues band.... with the beat.... called "deep gully"..... Los Angeles CA. In the 60's

8:51 I was not ready

This should and shall have more views.. great representation/explanation ...Dope TedxTalk

I was listening to Future and this popped up in my recommendations

3:45 bars

can someone reply what are the reasons why there is a misogyny in hop hop? thanks. English is not my first language so I didn't understand some parts of it

Came here after the Snow on da bluff critique 🤔

I'm kinda surprised she recommended Kendrick Lamar at the end. I mean I like his music and a lot of his lyrics are definitely fairly social conscious and clever, but the amount of demeaning terms he uses for women is out of control (especially the B-word). I think he repeats that word like 100 times in his song HUMBLE.

Their is more ownership in hip hop now than ever because of the internet

U.N.I.T.Y is bangin 🔥

well Salt N Pepa put out the 1st female rap group album in 1986

Actually. Taking. Notes

Your amazing. Wow. Great talk. No, amazing and articulate talk.

I loved this 🥰 educated, badass woman.

Icole

Streeeeettss

From the streets she emerged, and to the streets she'll return. Be not weary when she returns.

❤️

Classic

💯💯💯✊... We lost ownership. Factz

on my timeline Hiphop became misognist when Easy E was talking about hoes and Warren g referring to women as Skirts but it got worse with MTV raps Edlover and Drdre Before then it was conscious or fun and your right the corporate coke heads was behind it

What was the purpose of showing the audience?....were we supposed to judge it to be one way or another? Why?

uploaded 3 yrs ago and only 18k views. what a shame.

I’d be *very* curious about her thoughts on Cardi B’s “WAP”.

A lot of nigerian pop music is also misogynist and objectifies women.

„She belongs to the streets“

Ooga booga.

Navadious 1:1...

What about NWAs Straight outta Compton album, Insanely sexist and released in 1988. I say when that came out, hip hop went downhill.

Hip Hop sucks.

Very classic/old rap (2pac) was not bad though but NEW MUMBLE RAP SUCKS!!!! I despise it I hate mumble rap the most

then dont listen to it

I wonder if she‘a heard of future.

Ion care I love rap

Can you image what her arms would look like if she wasn't constantly dancing?

Do you think it would have been better if Hip Hop simply had never been?

Lol... But I lost it when "so snow on tha bluff" Triggered feminists

if you have 70 IQ im sure you love hip-hop

Then dnt listen to it lady wtf,simple as that

Music is an expression of how someone feels, they aren't pushing it on you... Saying that artists shouldn't be able to say these things is crazy. If you don't agree with the message, don't support the music.

She doesnt know what she is talking about

Women do the same thing to men 😂 this was funny tho

y'all belong to the streets

Damn. “minimalist” but her shirt size begs to differ
