This article explores how misogyny in hip hop, particularly gangsta rap, distorts perceptions of women by normalizing violence, objectification, and harmful stereotypes. It highlights how rap battles and diss tracks use women’s traumas as fodder for musical rivalry, reinforcing a victim-blaming culture. The article also discusses the role of female rappers in perpetuating these narratives and calls for a return to rap’s original purpose—celebrating expression and community without dehumanizing women or glorifying violence.
