Dear Rap Artists, I respect all musicians. I respect them for their talents and abilities. Even if I don’t particularly enjoy their genre of music or agree with the message they are sending, I still admire the fact that they have the ability to succeed in the music industry. It’s a tough line of work. However, I don’t respect certain aspects of how some artists reflect themselves through their music videos. Now, who doesn’t like music videos? They allow us to see our favorite musicians in action. Some videos tell us stories, and some show us crazy dance moves. But what I don’t understand is how you rappers portray yourselves in your videos. It’s bothersome to see the same stereotypical rap video in which the singer is drowning in jewelry and surrounded by half-naked women. I doubt anyone who has cable television hasn’t seen one of these videos. Artists including, but not limited to, Nelly, Puff Daddy (Oh I’m sorry, I mean P. Diddy), and Ludacris probably couldn’t be recognized from each other when comparing each video they’ve made. Is there a law in the rap world that says all videos must show the same settings and have no individual creativity?
