Groupies and mistreatment of women have been a part of the white rock and roll world since the 60s. So what is different about the world of hip hop?
Although groupies in the 60's were all mainly white while today they are very multiracial, they function in hip hop in exactly the same way as they did in the rock era- they are women who provide sexual services. Though there were groupies within the jazz, blues and rock genre's, they were not as noticeable or outrageous. The reason for this is that singers did not blatently portray them or refer to them in a negative light, whereas Hip Hop does the complete opposite by disrespecting and degrading women both in their lyrics and music videos. What makes the whole issue even more shocking is that women are reacting in a way as if they are supporting these ideologies imposed by the hip hop artists.
