The mise-en-scene contains blatent explotation of women and expensice materialistic items such as, alcohol, money, fancy mansion, cars and a busy lifestyle consisting of partying and making money. However, there seems to be an obvious lack of moral values being displayed? The women are degrading themselves, often just posing for the camera in lustful positions, wearing revealing clothing which makes them appear to be groupies, almose sex objects and are simply an accessory of the rappers in the video in order to make him seem powerful. Sadly, the audience of prodominantly teenage boys tend to believe that this is reality rather than fantasy and therefore emulate the way in which rappers behave. This link between women, money and power becomes more consistant and apparent within the genre of rap videos which provides more evidence to support my hypothesis.
