There are Bitches and hoes

            On the subject of there are bitches and hoes, Tricia Rose, specifically talks about how most of the rap music consists of women being bitches and hoes. She also feels that when the women are referred to as being bitches and hoes the rappers are specifically pointing the fingers at the females in the black community. Tricia Rose makes many points about rap music referring to black women as bitches and hoes in their music.           

            To begin with, most of today rap music deals with females, drugs and how the society is today. The reason why most rappers speak upon these topics is because they are issues that happening as we speak and are easy to talk about. Tricia Rose specifically talks about how in the rap music the men rap about themselves being “pimps” having so many females. However, when a female has many males they don’t call it a pimp they call it as being a hoe. I agree with Tricia rose when she says that why women can’t have a good representation to be called when doing these actions like men had a good representation as being called a pimp.

In addition, Tricia Rose states, “Are they saying the issues brought up in their music are unimportant, less worthy of discussion?” They are important if they portray women in a certain way. Then, there are some women that don’t really care about how rappers rap about other women, like myself. I say this because I know it don’t pertain to me. The way women are talked about is how they act, dress and the things they do to men which I know things that they say in their songs I cannot see it relating to myself. However, Tricia Rose then made a statement about when people defend themselves this way they make it seem that labeling doesn’t heart all women, which I know it probably do. However, I never looked at it in the context that Tricia Rose was seeing it. Now, that I do I understand where she get her insights from. She then ties it down to that we shouldn’t only worry about defending ourselves but we should also worrying about defending others and helping them too, and she has a point.
