In her 1994 essay, “Sexism and Misogyny: Who Takes the Rap?”, bell hooks writes, “The sexist, misogynist, patriarchal ways of thinking and behaving that are glorified in gangsta rap are a reflection of the prevailing values in our society, values created and sustained by white supremacist capitalist patriarchy” (1). According to hooks, who should “take the rap” for sexism and misogyny in gangsta rap? Who does “take the rap”? Are you satisfied by hooks’ argument?
