Music has always been a part of human society but now it seems as if hip-hop has taken over all other forms of music with its explicit lyrics, erotic music videos and a vivid display of sex and violence. Surprisingly enough, with all its flaws rap and hip-hop forms of music are at its peak. Every bar, club and discotheque have "50 cent", "Jay-Z", "P.Diddy" or "Eminem" songs playing all night long. These are some of the top names in the music industry today with some artists making almost three hundred million dollars in gross profit every year. The question here is how do these artists make so much money and receive all this fame through bad lyrics and explicit sexual themes?.
Eminem released his first album named "Slim Shady LP" which was such a huge success. It sold four million copies and upwards world wide. "I just don't give a fuck" and "Brain Damage" are the two songs comprising Eminem's initial single from the Slim Shady LP. Each tune is sure to paralyze meek listeners with their relentless lyrical assault. The two songs speak about everything from drugs to rape and parental abuse to murder. The release of eminem's first album raised a lot of controversy; there were a number of protests outside the MTV's head office for airing his video. None of this really affected the rapper in anyway, instead all this hype boosted his popularity and people actually bought the album just to see what was so wrong about it. From this point on eminem always had explicit lyrical contents in his songs, he went as far to say that he would kill his father, mother and wife in his song "Cleanin out my closet". Once again this song was a big hit, proving once and again that there are people out there who actually want to hear about murder, violence and rape. .
As my title suggests the type of language used in some of the rap songs, "Its Bling Bling Biatch". Bling Bling, a slang used for diamonds and biatch is how women are denoted in songs.
