This clip from PBS's Independent Lens focuses on the concept of masculinity and manhood in rap/hip-hop today. Masculinity in rap or hip-hop is viewed as more negative than positive due to subject material dealing with misogyny, violence, homophobia, and drugs. Why is the concept of masculinity redefined in hip-hop and rap rather than keeping the definition of what masculinity means in today's society? Yes, this genre of music is dominated by men but how has the concept of "elemental" rap or hip-hop become more of a misogynistic ideology ?
