Music makes me think a lot. Whenever I think about music lyrics (mainly hip-hop), I think about the fact that today’s music degrades women. It appears that the more people listen to that type of music, the more they start to portray those images they see or hear.

Some rappers rap about women’s body parts and basically having sex with the women. Simply put, these lyrics are disrespectful to women. However, how you take it is really your business. If you feel or know that you don’t fit the description in those disrespectful songs and you carry yourself like a lady and are comfortable with yourself, those types of lyrics won’t bother you if that’s what you choose to listen to.
Among other things, I notice more and more that not only music influences some individuals, but the media in general can influence people. For example, not too long ago a grown woman told me about how a Beyonce’ video made her want to start exercising and loosing weight so that she could have a body like that. That just further proves my belief that music/media has an influence on everyone.
It’s clearly up to you how you take it. Just because you listen to a certain style of music does not mean that it describes or represents who you are as a person. Don’t misunderstand me, it still ties in to how you carry yourself. Remember not to let it take over your mind and not define you are!
