Is hip-hop music all about violent and misogynistic lyrics?

No, but it gets more and more difficult to prove that assertion isn’t fallacy when you think about how saturated rap music is with lines like the ones Rick Ross rapped on “U.O.E.N.O.”

“Put Molly all in her champagne, she ain’t even know it, I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain’t even know it.”

Which of course, sparked controversy because rape isn’t something that’s acceptable, no matter if it’s sugar-coated under the guise of something that sounds really dope.

And even though the word “rape” was never technically used, and Ross gave his apology, in accordance to those lyrics, it caused enough of a commotion that Ross’ words became somewhat of a catylst for the debate on misogny and violence in hip-hop that manifested itself between Lupe Fiasco and Talib Kweli on Twitter.

But Ross is just one of many. Because many rappers spit lyrics that objectify women and/or advocate violence. It’s not something that can be remedied overnight. Hell, it may not be something that can be remedied ever.

That being said, we at GlobalGrind thought we’d make that fact a little more apparent by compiling a list of 10 of the most negative rap lyrics from some of our legends – past and present – in the game.

Check it out below…

N.W.A “F*ck Da Police” 

Lyrics: Ruthless! Never seen like a shadow in the dark/ Except when I unload, see I’ll get over the hesitation/ And hear the scream of the one who got the last penetration/ Give a little gust of wind and I’m jettin’/ But leave a memory no one’ll be forgettin’/ So what about the b*tch who got shot? F*ck her/ You think I give a damn about a b*tch? I ain’t a sucker! (Eazy-E)

Dr. Dre Feat. Snoop Dogg, Dat Nigga Daz, Kurupt & Jewel “B*tches Ain’t Sh*t”

Lyrics: B*tches ain’t shit but hoes and tricks/ Lick on these nuts and suck the dick/ Get the f*ck out after you’re done/ And I hope in my ride to make a quick run.

Tupac “When We Ride On Our Enemies”

Lyrics: Come take a journey through my mind’s eye/ You crossed the game, don’t explain, n*gga time to die, say goodbye/ Watch my eyes when I pull the trigger/ So right before you die you bow before a bigger n*gga. 

Biggie Smalls Feat. Diddy, Big Tymers & The Hot Boyz “Hope You N*ggas Sleep”

Lyrics: Haters, I don’t like’em/ B*tches, I don’t trust’em/ N*ggas, I can’t stand’em/ I creep down and pluck’em/ Strap stay in my hand, I gotta protect mine/ N*ggas trying to pull it off, pop goes the nine. (Big Tymer) 

Jay-Z Feat. Pharrell “I Just Wanna Love U (Give In To Me)”

Lyrics: Ain’t no tellin will I f*ck ’em, will I diss ’em/ That’s what they be yellin/ I’m a pimp by blood, not relation/ Y’all be chasin, I replace them. 

Eminem “Kill You”

Lyrics: Slut, you think I won’t choke no whore ’til the vocal cords don’t work in her throat no more/ (AH!) These motherf*ckers are thinking I’m playing/ Thinking I’m saying the sh*t cause I’m thinking it just to be saying it/ (AH!) Put your hands down b*tch, I ain’t gonna shoot you
I’ma pull you to this bullet, and put it through you.”

E 40 Feat. The Click “Captain Save A Ho”

Lyrics: I got the gift to grab any bitch that I want/ But I don’t cuz bitches nowadays will get you caught up in some funk/ Oh no, I’m not tryin’ to save you hoes.

Dr. Dre & Ice Cube “Natural Born Killaz”

Lyrics: Decapitatin I ain’t hesitatin to put you in the funeral home/ With a bullet in your dome/ I’m hot like lava/ You got a problem? I got a problem solver/ And his name is revolver.

Nas “Shoot ‘Em Up”

Lyrics: One 44, two 45’s, 3 loaded clips, 4 niggas roll, one n*gga drives 500 Benz, 6 reasons why this kid should die.

2 Live Crew “Hoochie Mama” 

Lyrics: Big booty hoes hop wit it/ Hoochie mamas hop wit it/ Let me see ya touch the ground/ I don’t know ya reputation/ But all the n*ggas in the hood say it’s all good.
