A Note on Misogyny in Hip-Hop and Music

Today's post is a quote from rapper Dessa Darling.



"A lot of people say, 'Oh yeah, but you know I put that block in my head when I listen to that really misogynistic stuff.' I would make the following argument: If that was really racist racist content, it would be so overwhelming to you that you wouldn't be willing to listen through the offense. That reason that you can listen to it is 'cause it already got to you. You just failed that test."
