Women in Hip Hop & Women in Society

Stand Out From Others

In today’s society, women in Hip Hop give off this perfect image. They have the flawless figures, the seductive outfits, and always say the right things. Men today look at them and say they want a woman just like a Nicki Minaj or Rihanna, making those women in Hip Hop feel superior and now every little girl or grown woman wants to be like them not just because they are fans, but because that is what men like. It is the same way vice versa with males in Hip Hop and males in society.

Hip Hop is a business and what you see on television and in videos is not really who they are or even sometimes how they look in real life. Women in Hip Hop have set this standard so high for not only African-American women but all women to have the whole package when in reality no one is perfect. A real role model and those who are the top women of Hip Hop should open up to the people and show them who they really are and tell women all around the world that there is no better person you can be but yourself. The media has taken over and now runs our lives and it is becoming monkey see monkey do. Since Rihanna dyed her hair red everyone and their mother is dying their hair red. That is her Rihanna’s style and just because it looks good on her doesn’t mean it will look good on you. Look to the women in Hip Hop for more than style and looks. Learn from them how to carry yourself in a womanly manner and not necessarily dress all seductive, but look at the amount of work they put in day and night in order to reach the success they have today.

Ladies, take a look at the things that have more meaning in your life and the things that Women in Hip Hop do that will help you reach success, not just look and dress like them. Every one of you is your own person, so why would you want to be exactly like someone else? Just think about it. Women in Hip Hop have carved a way for all women showing them that women can break into a male dominated industry and succeed. So think about your interest in life. Think about how you can be like them and be successful in this world by doing things no other woman in history has done before!
