Unit II - Blog II/Street Lit, Pimps, ...

Misogyny, homophobia, toxic masculinity and queer theory were all tenets we discussed in Unit II. We queered Hip-Hop; we criticized, and we interrogated it too.  We were left with probably more unanswered than answered questions.  So, I'd like to ask you two questions which still remain with me today.

1. What do you think the impact of toxic masculinity within Hip-Hop will have on its audience?
2. Will Hip-Hop ever be a space of acceptance for anything non-heteronormative and non-patriarchal?

Please explain your answers thoroughly, and don't forget to include a media component.

Due: Fri., 3/23/18 by the beginning of class.
