2014 Different Attitude toward Violence In “Killing Women: A Pop-Music Tradition” John Hamerlinck reveals that the seemingly harmless world of pop music has developed its own style of woman-killing songs. Violent misogyny in songs is not new. In the 1920s‚ a song called “Careless Love” sang by Lonnie Johnson‚ “in which he promises to shoot his lover numerous times and then stand over her until she is finished dying”(417).

“The music industry is a vicious business. It chews women up and spits them out.”‚ says singer/songwriter Tori Amos. Much like the world of advertisements and fashion‚ female performers are hypersexualized and objectified. The music industry‚ being run by mostly men (producers‚ directors‚ etc.) make it very unlikely for a woman to succeed based on their talent‚ but more so because of the way they express their sexuality and flaunt their looks. The problem in the music industry is not that women

There is also the belief rapper KRS-ONE said‚ “rapping is something you do and hip-hop is something you live” (KRS-ONE). The differences between rap and hip-hop are distinguishable enough that the two have separated. Leading people to believe that rap has evolved into its own category. Unless rap or hip-hop music is one of your favorite genres of music‚ you probably just lump the two together. Although in many
