A Case Study On Selected Terms Used To Describe Women In Selected Malaysian Hip Hop Lyrics
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 6
Abstract
Music has always played a pivotal role in our life as it possesses the power to mold listener’s perceptions and notions. When broken down into components, music itself plays a role in stereotyping women into certain characteristics and ideals. This study therefore looks at selected Malaysian hip hop lyrics and examines how the lyrics are used in depicting women in certain sexist terms.
