Explicit Rap Music Lyrics and Attitudes toward Rape: The Perceived Effects on African American College Students' Attitudes.

Wade, Bruce H.; Thomas-Gunnar, Cynthia A.

Challenge: A Journal of Research on African American Men, v4 n1 p51-60 Oct 1993

Examines the effects of rap music on the attitudes and behaviors of students in historically black colleges. Interviews with 38 females indicate that they find explicit lyrics inappropriate and harmful to society, but they feel that rap music accurately represents some of the realities of gender relations between black males and females.
