i am OTHER is the digital web channel created by Pharrell Williams and they have a show called Stereotypes. In the recent episode they touched on the topic of stereotypes within hip hop/rap music. They posed questions to a diverse selection of people throughout the streets of NYC and what I found to be most interesting is: 1. A lot of people still think that hip hop music is an audible evil 2. There is a really young, ignorant group of aspiring rappers coming up now (you will see a scene in the segment that will prove my point). Now in regards to things such as bitch, nigga, sexism, or the level of disrespect towards women, those elements can be found in anything in this world. They can be found in family households, fashion, entertainment, a church...anywhere but that should not be a reason to disregard an entire collective altogether...all hip hop/rap music is not the same. That's my opinion. So check out the newest episode of Stereotypes below and let me know what you all think.
