"To what extent does the music industry reinforce an unrealistic and negative representation of women, with a specific reference to the track 'Yo Darlin- NSG ft Geko'

INTRODUCTION

As the music scene grows, it seems the objectification of women within music videos has become glorified and exacerbated. This is deemed as problematic as inclusive genres to this topic such as Hip-hop and Afrobeats are highly complicated and multifaceted genre which are rooted and heavily revolve around complex social and political commentary, dating as far back to the 1960s and 1990s. The lack of empowerment and the emancipation of women in the music industry is symbolised and particularly evident in NSG's music video 'Yo darling' featuring Geko. The music industry fundamentally provides a platform, not only for the young black youth to self-identify but to also raise awareness to wider  discussions and issues of universal themes that have been pre-discussed and established by revolutionary hip-hop and afrobeats artists such as Fela Kuti and the NWA.
