Actually... I think this attitude in Rap is simply another reflection of male anger toward female control.
Rap personas are a fantasy... the reality of being a black male in America, for most black males, is to suffer mistreatment and disrespect from women.
Rap stars have tapped into this huge subsurface rage toward women, and fantasies of being the dominant gangsta hood...
Like all fanstsies... they reflect the opposite of reality.
Gangsta rap stars living large surrounded by lots of young hoes to humiliate are largely the same as the white suburban fantasy of Hugh Hefner living in the mansions surrounded by blond bimbos....
Something that is not gonna ever happen for the vast majority of men.
With one significant difference...
Both are fantasies of dominance and power...
however... Hugh's 1970's fantasy was happy and compliant, fun loving girls who get to live like princesses....
Whereas today's rap fantasy is suffused with violence and dislike for women as people.
Again.. I keep coming back to that image of agressive men stuffing their cocks into girls throats till they gag....
Young men living in a world where everything they say is "wrong", everything they feel and respond to is "disgusting"... living under constant daily threat of saying the wrong thing... doing the wrong thing...
To these young men it feels like they are having a preconception about their value as men shoved down their throats till they gag...
The porn they watch reflects the opposite of the reality they live.
They feel abused and powerless... and in their fantasies, they want to see the tables turned.
