- Photo credit:Twerk Team Fan Po (Official Twerkers Got Swag)In the early days of rap and hip hop it was regarded as alternative– only heard in dance clubs, played by late night disc jockets. Many R&B and urban contemporary radio stations refused to play rap songs or R&B songs with short rap tracks in the 80s and 90s
- Now hip hop, which includes rap music is not only a full music genre – it’s a multi-billion dollar industry, influencing art, fashion, and pop culture.From Wikipedia:four pillars of hip hop culture: MCing, DJing, B-boying and graffiti Hip hop is simultaneously a new and old phenomenon; the importance of sampling to the art form means that much of the culture has revolved around the idea of updating classic recordings, attitudes, and experiences for modern audiences - called "flipping" within the culture.
- hip hop has given a voice to the voiceless and poverty-stricken worldwide, particularly in inner cities and neighborhoods suffering from urban blight, and showcased their artistic ingenuity and talent on a global scale. At its worst,[citation needed] hip hop has mirrored the worst aspects of the mainstream culture that it once challenged: materialism, sexism, an internalized racism and an antipathy towards intellectualism.I remix this science lectureSo, I use hip hop culture: the good, the bad, and the ugly as my background track to teach evolutionary biologyhttp://blogs.westword.com/backbeat/2011/01/misogyny_do_women_get_a_bad_rap_in_hip_hop.phphttp://www.clutchmagonline.com/2011/07/whos-to-blame-for-misogyny-in-hip-hop-the-artists-or-the-fans/
- Natural Selection is the differential success of individuals. Success is survival and reproduction.In natural selection, traits are shaped by environmental, biological or physiological agents (Andersson 1994).In sexual selection, traits are shaped by sexual rivals and mates (Andersson 1994).Often times these selective forces can act in ways contrary to Natural selection.Sexual Selection is the difference in reproductive success of individuals based on competition for mates AND the expression of TRAITS that give those individuals an advantage.

- Lauren Hill – That Thing – official video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6QKqFPRZSAWhy is there conflict:Male RS increases by gaining more mates, whereasFemale RS increases with gainer greater or exclusive access to a male and/or his resources (food, shelter, protection).
- This tug of war of mate choice and sexual conflict shapes animal behavior and results in a pageant of reproductive behaviors across the animal kingdomWhich includes courtship patterns, mating strategies and tactics and parental care behaviors.
- Hip hop music that is popular today is very sexist and male biased. And it the images in videos and the lyrics are Hyper sexualized and promotes tolerance of sexual assault and other unwelcomed sexual advances, idolizing strippers and video vixens, tolerance of insulting language taking a look at Sex, Dating, and Relationships as depicted in popular culture and hip hop music and pointing out how examples of evolutionary biology principles at play.
- Monogamy, Bi-parental care, Paternal care, provision, fidelity, reproductive successMale-female are coupled, share a territory, provision each other and young - all of this is expressed in Method Man’s song.Fabolus “I Can’t Let You Go”
