Hip Hop music has just taken the world by the storm. A lot of new artists are coming out faster than new clothing trends come out every season. Hip hop songs are getting more and more creative; there are newer collaborations between artists, newer approaches in music, and newer beats composed. However, today, hip hop has become more than just a musical genre. It has also evolved into being a subculture.

You easily spot the hip hop worshipping youth today. They are dressed in baggy jeans, have multiple piercing and seem to own the streets as they walk upon them. Hip hop has cuddled a lot of time slots in music channels lately, all showing off a lifestyle that a lot of youth looks up to and wants to follow.

The danger in this hip hop hugging generation is that they are blinded by the glamour of it all, that they fail to analyze what really is going on on the side. A lot of hip hop music videos feature scantily clad women who are treated by the male artists often as sexual objects. They call these women in names which they don't deserve to be called, such as bitch, slut and whore among others. Moreover, there are a lot of supposedly detrimental things in these videos, like drugs, alcohol, gambling, mugging and stealing, which are packaged very much like the ideal lifestyle, hidden behind those bling blings, shiny street banners and caviar.

So the next time you watch a hip hop video, do you see the red flags now?
