    Brent really describes the perspective that we all miss. When we bully people just because of their appearances we do not take into consideration their feelings at all.

    Rap was understood as an example of, and was articulated to, essentialist notions of racial difference, thus reducing a complex and alternative set of cultural practices to simplistic constructions of the black ghetto and the "native" culture of the African American underclass. Rap is neither the essential product of black male youth experience nor a singular music movement defined by one or a limited number of styles and artists, but rather it includes practices and forms that have emerged within a specific historical context and social space. The success of women rappers in selling records, presenting and representing somewhat different concerns from their male counterparts, and reaching audiences that might not have otherwise listened to rap (such as feminists who assumed that the genre was sexist) demonstrates the potential for rap to reach new audiences and effect change through helping to shift the meanings of musical practice and social position in certain directions (Rose, 1990). Rap's ability to attract and reach disparate audiences and effect social and cultural change indeed provides a significant model for all those engaged in cultural struggle. (Mark Fenster, 1995)…
