Critics of Rap music proclaim that Rap music has the ability to influence belief systems, while advocates of Rap music argue that Rap music does not influence belief systems. The present study assessed whether listening to Rap music influences African American (AA) adult males' perceptions of females. It was hypothesized that participants who prefer Hard-core rap music (music consisting of sex, crime, and drugs; Haskins, 2000) as opposed to Playa Rap music (music discussing designer clothes, shoes, and million dollar homes and vehicles; Haskins) would more likely have negative perceptions of women. African American adult males (aged 18-34) who preferred Rap music were chosen using the snowballing effect. The participants were given a demographic survey, two scales from the Sexual Attitudes Survey (Burt, 1980), and one informational letter. The results suggested that African American males who prefer Hard-core rap music tend to score higher on the Sexual Attitudes Survey than those who prefer Playa rap music.

Hip Hop culture has received a significant amount of criticism from scholars and public figures for the emphatic celebration of violence, misogyny, and materialism commonly at the center of its most prominent mass media products (hip hop music and hip hop music videos). Researchers have attempted to measure the influence of hip hop mass media on violence, male/female relationships, drug use and other social phenomena within African American communities. Yet, quantitative and qualitative researchers often interpret the relationship without questioning whether or not hip hop mass media actually has an impact on African Americans' lived experiences as men and women in a highly stratified society. The purpose of this study was to explore hip hop mass media's relationship with African Americans' conceptualization of gender roles. Findings from in-depth interviews with eight African Americans revealed that the respondents reported no relationship between hip hop mass media and their perception of gender roles. Respondents reported that socially expected gender roles were fulfilled in accordance with the needs of the household rather than the dominant schema for gender roles. The family system emerged as an important factor in mitigating the influence of hip hop mass media on African American youth, a group the respondents identified as very influential group. Future studies should investigate relationships within the family system that mediate between youth and the social world.

Author's abstract: This study explores the African-American males' perspectives of whether his identification with the hip-hop culture affects his academic achievement. Many Black males have embraced the popular culture of hip-hop with its glamour and style, but many also continue to fall behind in school or dropout. The use of qualitative analysis allows the participants in this study to speak of their experiences with hip-hop and education. Glesne (1999) writes, "Critical Race Theory as a theoretical framework allows the ability to listen well to others stories and to interpret and retell the accounts [which is] is part of the qualitative researcher's trade" (p.1). It also permits the counter narratives of these Black males' perspectives of the quandary of his educational experience to be heard. Sixteen Black males from age 14 to 21 participated in a random questionnaire that measured their level of their identification with hip-hop. Six of the participants also participated in a focus group and individual interviews to discuss in depth their experiences with school and hip-hop. The following themes were prevalent in this study: hip-hop culture is a lifestyle but there are those who try to emulate the style; Their definition of hip-hop consists of rap music and style of dress, along with speech or how they talk; hip-hop is not a passing fad; hip-hop is viewed as a mood regulator; hip-hop culture means money or making money; the hip-hop image affects educator's perceptions; Hip-hop is all they know. The study will enlighten educators as to African American male's perception that how they look affects the treatment they receive in school.
Our national conversation about race is ludicrously out-of-date. Hip-hop is the key to understanding how things are changing. In a provocative book that will appeal to hip-hoppers both black and white and their parents, Bakari Kitwana deftly teases apart the culture of hip-hop to illuminate how race is being lived by young Americans. This topic is ripe, but untried, and Kitwana poses and answers a plethora of questions: Does hip-hop belong to black kids? What in hip-hop appeals to white youth? Is hip-hop different from what rhythm, blues, jazz, and even rock 'n' roll meant to previous generations? How have mass media and consumer culture made hip-hop a unique phenomenon? What does class have to do with it? Are white kids really hip-hop's primary listening audience? How do young Americans think about race, and how has hip-hop influenced their perspective? Are young Americans achieving Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream through hip-hop? Kitwana addresses uncomfortable truths about America's level of comfort with black people, challenging preconceived notions of race. With this brave tour de force, Bakari Kitwana takes his place alongside the greatest African American intellectuals of the past decades.
