Stereotypical Hip hop artists

Within music video rappers are often found in expensive houses and massive mansions, around loads of girls. This is done by directors and recording companies to portray wealth and power. Within music video, rappers show off but at the same time seem to keep up their status from the street. Low angels are often use in their music videos to support the idea that these rappers are powerful. The use of women in music videos all the time gives the views an idea that the rappers are extremely sexually active and very popular with the ladies. This makes the viewer idolise them and want to be like them.  not only do rappers want to keep up thier ganster image in music video, they now want to be seen as business men as they all now wear suits and act like they are part of the mafia! Hip-hop is also to do with race, as most hip-hop artists are black the music has now become a over view of the changes on the black economy. Though these musicians often exaggerated their wealth people have accepted it as it is. It just like how rockstars wear women's clothes and make up and at the same time have sex with so many women. The images seen on the music videos are just for front characters created to draw in a particular audience.
