It is clearly seen that rappers are only doing this to achieve success and of course the great amount of fame. When composing raps, “it is painfully clear that women are mere sex objects” (Bobo 1). In the rap world, and even in the hip-hop world, women are viewed as accessories and are not given the respect they deserve. The single reason this is done is simply for the rappers to make money.

In Kendrick Lamar’s famous interlude rap “Buried Alive”, he says “We talk casually about the industry and how the women be the taste makers for the shit we making”. That visibly shouts women how extremely useable women are when rapper create their lyrics. That rap was featured on Drake’s album Take Care.

The notion of writing has been defined in many different ways by writers.
