Negative impact of hip hop culture on black female students
Most black female students are highly susceptible to hip hop music. Listening to the text of such songs, students consider them as the instructions to follow. One may ask, what is wrong here? The texts are really awful. Sexual promiscuity, drugs consumption, alcohol drinking, smoking, violence and other harmful habits are discussed in hip hop songs. Moreover, the texts of the songs do not teach students to avoid those habits, but present them as the part of student life, as if it is a norm. Thus, listening to such music, being the part of hip hop culture, black female students become too involved there that leads to degradation. The main reason why black female students want to be involved in hip hop culture is the history of this culture origin: Black and Latino roots.
