The lyrics provided are by Nicki Minaj’s “Did It On ‘Em” as an example of raunch aesthetics. This song came out in November 2010 in her debut studio album “Pink Friday.” This song is an example of raunch aesthetics because Nicki uses her ambiguous queer performances with a more masculine and aggressive approach in this song. In the music video, Nicki is seen wagging a rubber dildo on stage near her pelvis, while she raps “If I had a dick, I would pull it out and piss on 'em.” This is suggestive of gender violence, a trend seen in hip hop culture that appeals to the main audience. “If I had a dick, I would pull it out and piss on 'em” also suggests her role playing. Role playing in sex gives the individual power and control in a space where women are usually the one being sexually dominated. Nicki also says “Bitch, I get money so I do's what I pleases,” suggesting that her raunch aesthetics and power reinforces her independence as a woman.

In this article, the author speaks on how the presence of raunch culture how become more and more prevalent in today’s society. The author touches on how sexual images are being seen in public spaces and how the sex industry is creeping its way into media and advertising. The author argues that this shift of sexualized images into society is a hypersexual condition. As a result of this shift, the hypersexual condition has now become the driving force for the increase of oppression and violence towards females. The author uses two primary examples that speak about how strip clubs are starting to become more public in society.

On this website, the author breaks down what music is and what it does to the body. Different beats and tunes make people feel differently. The author bases her summary off the Carnal teachings essay and makes a valid point when talking about raunch. She talks about how raunch in our society today is just another way of saying “vulgar” when referring to sexual expression. In her own words, she explains what raunch aesthetics means to her. She alludes to how females are often over sexualized where males are often looked at in positions of power, confusing everyday life. She suggests that raunch aesthetics is what channels and redirects power back into these sexualized and racialized bodies. She ties all of these things back to our history and how the country was first started.

Badass femininity refers to the emergence of different femininities that exist within a marginalized culture to counteract gender notions perpetuated in society. Many forms of hip hop, especially breakdancing, is considered masculine due to the aggressive movements that are performed by the body. Badass femininity demands the celebration of strong female bodies of color who b-girl. The sexual politics that surround women in hip hop is the main reason these women are rejecting these confining roles of femininity as well as masculinity. B-girls must combat the sexualization of women as well as the idea that women should act proper and ladylike in a space that is predominantly male. This terms gives women the freedom to be themselves in a genre of dance they love so that they can perform their identities and experiences without the unnecessary constraints placed on women in the hip hop genre. B-girling is seen as the continuation of badass femininity that started in black female blues singers.

Raunch aesthetics is a concept used to describe ways in which women in hip hop express their sexualities through their performance of sexually explicit lyrics, dances, and other spectacles that place attention on the woman’s body. These aesthetics are not made with the intention to cater to the male gaze but rather to embrace and take control over their own sexual identities. This type of sexual expression transcends beyond patriarchal notions of gender and race. Raunch aesthetics are strategically used by female hip hop artists to critique the issues surrounding race and sexuality in culture through the use of humor and sexual explicitness. The use of raunch sexuality can be empowering for women that are marginalized in everyday life and these practices perpetuate feminist and queer teachings especially in the music video, Don’t Let Go by Yo! Majesty. This paper analyzes the ways in which raunch aesthetics is depicted in the music video to critique normative concepts of femininity and heterosexuality.

7 Black women queering the mic, Nikki Lane

Though there were and always have been djs, dancers, graffiti artists, and rappers who were Black women, they are placed on the periphery of hip-hop culture; their voices, along with “gay rappers” and “white rappers” devalued and their contribution to the global rise of hip-hop either forgotten or eschewed. This article is an attempt to articulate the existence of Black women who work outside of the paradigms of the “silence, secrecy, and a partially self-chosen invisibility” that Evelynn Hammonds describes. At the center of this article lies an attempt to locate a new configuration and expression of desire and sexuality, opening a door, wide open, to gain a different view of Black women, their sexuality, their expression of it, and the complexities that arise when they attempt to express it in hip hop nation language.

The author explains her findings on the change in the way society sees hip hop and sex, what’s okay and what’s not. There has been a rise in the amount of sexual exposure for adolescents due to sexually explicit content. The impact this material from the media is causing a negative impact on the viewers. The article presents findings from her research, which was focused on public health, sociology, and media/ cultural studies. The new sexualized “standard” culture is affecting the young people of this generation perspective on sex and sexuality.

It is not a secret that in today’s music industry that sex sells. The question is how far is too far and should there be a limit on how raunchy music videos should be? Hip hop has been moving more and more towards less clothing and more sex appeal. What is the effect that this is having on the consumers? It seems as if real talent has taken a back seat and what you look like and if you fit the ideal “image” has become a more important quality to have. These videos demonstrate these points.

11 "Sex and the feminist subject: negating/engaging 'difference' in 'raunch culture'.." The Free Library. 2011 The University of Western Australia, Women's Studies 04 Apr. 2016

In this source, the author is criticizing a book written in 2005 by Ariel Levy. Ariel Levy’s book analyzes how today’s mainstream culture is in fact a raunch culture. The author argues that Levy does not speak about ‘difference’ as an important political theme. The author argues that the way Ariel Levy shows differences amongst women is not effective and as a result has negative outcomes. In this article which critiques Ariel Levy’s writing, the author’s argument is significant to society arguments on how raunch culture creates issues about sexualisation, pornopgraphy, and the sexualisation of women in particular.

12 "Ludacris (Ft. Lil' Fate & Shawna) – Pussy Poppin (P-Poppin)." Genius. Web. 04 Apr. 2016.

This video is so raunchy it borders on the pornographic, “P Poppin” is a very explicit song and video about pole dancing and strip teasing. There are numerous shots of women in skimpy costumes shaking their asses. Ludacris himself is surrounded by naked dancers in the video and we can see their bare breasts and cha chas.Clearly, this is a contest to find the woman who can P Pop the best. There are lots of strippers sliding down poles and there are several more graphic shots in the unexpurgated version. Ludacris and his pals are watching the entertainment and going buck wild – literally throwing thousands and thousands of dollars at these women, and this spurs the women on to do raunchier and raunchier things to get money.

13 Golding, Shenequa. "Amber Rose Think It's Unfair Beyonce Doesn't Receive The Criticisms She	And Kim Kardashian Face." Vibe. 2016. Web. 04 Apr. 2016.

This article puts to question what type of raunchy is accepted in society. The article is written about Amber Rose and how she is speaking out against the animosity that both herself and Kim West receive on a daily basis for revealing themselves to the public media. Whereas Beyonce twerks and where just as revealing clothes as both Kim and Amber but yet we don't hear from the public that she is a “hoe” or a “porn star”. Amber response to all of this is that at the end of the day, each one of them are women and that they should all embrace each other, and that no other person is greater than the rest. So with that being said, what exactly makes Beyonce any different from the two other female celebrities. What types of raunchy is accepted in society? Because it is very clear to me that there is a distinction.

'''"Beyoncé – Partition." Rap Genius. N.p., n.d. Web. 04 Apr. 2016.'''

The lyrics provided are by Beyonce Knowles’s “Partition” as an example of raunch aesthetics. This song came out in December 2013 in her self titled, surprise album: “Beyonce.” This song is an example of raunch aesthetics because Beyonce openly expresses her sexuality and desirability to her partner. Her allure is clear to the listener and to her man, she sings “I just wanna be the girl you like, girl you like, the kind of girl you like.” Despite Beyonce being a professional businesswoman, a mom, and religiously affiliated, her lyrics are suggestive of a sexual liberation that is often suppressed by patriarchal America. The ending of the song is in French and it translates to “Men think that feminists hate sex but it’s an exciting and natural activity that women love.” Beyonce is lyrically explicit and she uses her sexuality and raunch aesthetics to reinforce her independence as a woman.
