Misogyny refers to hatred towards women and it is often illustrated in many other aspects of hip-hop the lyrics and videos that are produced. Often young listeners look up to or consider many of the artists as role models that portray the images of misogyny. "Misogyny in hip-hop," Campbell notes, "is something that is reflective of society at large. You see misogyny in movies; you see it in everyday life. So hip-hop artists are really reflecting what they see”(Campbell 3). There's disrespect toward women, and it's became so common in society that it almost seems like the norm and people seem to not pay it any attention. Gareth Bryant, a Muslim writer shares his feeling toward the distastefulness of misogyny on his webpage in a poem he titles “Bitches.” Bryant talks of how men in this day and time have no shame in calling a woman, the same woman that could be someone’s mother, daughter, or even potential wife everything and anything other than her name.

Hip-Hop is just is a mainstream avenue which amplifies misogynistic qualities. Record sales and ticket sales skyrocket and usually higher than those who messages appears more positive. Artists are regularly rewarded for their derogatory messages; complimented by the attention that is brought to them the highly recognized and influential business investing giants began recognizing the monetary power of hip hop in the 2007 Forbes Five. This year Forbes, a bi-weekly magazine, identified the wealthiest hip hop artist ranging in worth from over 300 million dollars to a billionaire (Forbes).  

The hip hop artists are raking in the dollars despite ridicule of women in addition to being objectified in songs like "Every Girl in the World," by Lil Wayne. Hip hop artist Lil Wayne proclaims that he'd like to "Love every girl in the world." If he was to accomplish that goal even a girl with the most conservative of agendas will have their opportunity to be loved by a famous hip-hop artist that degrades women in most if not all of his songs. Society is in need of new illustrated definitions of what a man actually should become, than the example in the now of hip hop.

In the year of 2003 a famous hip-hop artist known as Nelly decided to release a video entitled “Tip Drill”. This incident brought about a lot of publicity and ridicule that negatively impacted his career. The song was very degrading to women. A tip drill is an alternate name for running a train on a female. Urban Dictionary gives the assumption and example that the term was coined from basketball ,”where players line up at the free throw line and tip the ball off the back board consecutively, one after another.” Nelly phrased it  "I said it ain't no fun less we all get some
I need a tipdrill, we need a tipdrill” ( urban dictionary).

The release of “Tip Drill” occurred during in a self-described tough time in Nelly’s life when his sister had been rejected as a bone marrow recipient. The negativity surrounding the song did nothing to boost his image when he was trying to drum up support for his sister. The public response from the female population: "We care about your sister. Why don't you care about us?" Moya Bailey a student at Spelman College asked in response to the video in a USA Today report by Jill Nelson (Nelson 2). Sure, Nelly has a right to make any video he wants. And yes, people don't have to watch it. Unfortunately, what women can't escape is the way these images affect others. The women of Spelman coined a second slogan, "We love hip-hop. But does hip-hop love us?"(Watkins 218).  So far, the response to their question is silence. The controversy really sparked fire to Spelman’s Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance (FMLA) and the backlash lasted longer than what Nelly had expected. It is believed that this issue hindered his sister’s chance for the bone marrow transplant . Nelly’s sister never received a transplant and died shortly after controversy associated with “Tip Drill” cooled. 

Much of the mayhem around the song was in response to the video scene showing the well-known artist swiping a credit card down the backside of a female dancer. The scene was very misogynistic because it perceived as degrading to the nth degree. The card swiping was a big deal but so was all of the half-naked women of the video exposed in teeny weenie clothes or barely nothing being bought and used for the pleasures of the buyer. These events present a one-dimensional interpretation of male heterosexuality, using the female body as an advertisement which limits the ways in which men and women should act on a daily basis.
