Smack That by Akon 9 Smack That by Akon: Oh yeah, you gonna watch him smack that all on the floor, and smack that till you get sore. You know how many girls I've watched just grind to this like no one's watching? If the number was one it was way too many. I'm pretty sure my number one choice right here is definitely the most degrading song I have ever heard towards women. But there is one thing we still know.
Women will still dance to it. Parents may not always agree with the decisions made by the recording companies and artists. When making decisions about what music is appropriate for their children, parents should listen to the songs or albums themselves and talk to their children about the music and artists. Have continual conversations with your children about how consuming pirated music is both unethical and illegal.
In addition, make sure you are a good role model for your children. There are many online music stores where your children can explore and experiment as their tastes in music change and grow. To make sure your children are exploring in a legal way, consider creating a family account with an online music retailer and using songs as rewards for good behavior and grades. Trade favorite CDs with your child, and be aware of what you are listening to.
Likewise, talk to your children about the music that you like and the songs that hold important memories for you. It is important that you have a conversation with each child to set rules and limits that are appropriate for him or her.
Once the contracts have been signed, post them in a prominent place in your home as a reminder. Wiki Categories.

It's a real issue that can directly impact someone's life- a misplaced joke at the least and absolutely deadly at its worst.
Sexism is deeply rooted in the structure of our society, and it's no surprise that some lyricists don't shy away from sprinkling it in with your favorite tunes in your songs. You might not have noticed before, but here are some songs that are actually sexist. The audacity of this song gets a lot of heads turning whenever you play it on the stereo and with good reason. This song is misogyny wrapped in a beat, fully setting each verse and chorus with female objectification through the male gaze.
Charlie Scene wrote this song in , a lot of fans speculate that it's actually about how outsiders view their band- as the lines, though catchy, are incredibly shallow and ill-willed. Whether the song is made satire or not, the lyrics in it blatantly speaks of a man going after women after woman while getting drunk at parties. Take that as you will. No mediocre is a song from , with T. I speaking of his 'ideal girl'. Saying that he wants "Bad bitches only, no mediocre hoe," he then continues stating just how he wants the girl to look, act, and dress like.
The song even goes as being explicitly sexual as well. A lot of rap songs fall into this trap, oftentimes focusing on women based on their appearances and the bedroom. Lyricists should take note that a good flow in rap doesn't mean it's a good song. Women being sexist is not the usual narrative that you see flying around, but RaeLynn does it.
The country song was released back in , which isn't really that long ago. Co-written by RaeLynn, Nicolle Galyon, Lori Mckenna, and Liz Rose, the song contains lyrics such as "Somebody's gotta wear a pretty skirt" and "Somebody's gotta be the one to cry" both of which are referring to girls- which are two extremely harmful lyrics to hear whenever you wanna go country riding. Regardless of the harm it can potentially cause, when 'God Made Girls' was released it became the most streamed song in the 'US Country Digital Songs' in that year.
Disguised as a song for women empowerment, it is actually anything but. In the music video, he portrays a girl that he deems as 'perfect' and repeatedly says that he wants her to be his 'trophy.
Featuring Kanye West, this song was released back in Not long after, they released a video game titled "I won the game". Now, this is where it gets wild.
The game allows its players to throw chains at women and turn them into their literal trophies. This was problematic before but certainly is still now. Women aren't flashy trophies to show off to other people- that should go without any saying from any respectable person. As the World Turns is the first entry of 'rap god' Eminem. The man himself has been accused of being sexist hundreds of times.
This just proves that no matter how high your vocabulary maybe, you are still susceptible to forming misogynistic ideas. The Slim Shady is definitely a fan-favorite among the rap culture. The song explicitly verbalizes Eminem fantasizing about vengefully attacking a woman, alongside with making fun of her weight, looks, and appearance. Now, this is a song that certainly did not age well- especially since it was completely disturbing to begin with.
Don't be fooled by the sweet harmony in this song. If you listen closely enough, you just might spot how it is sexist.
