As we listen to music, it is really clear that music is completely identified with generalizations. Whether it is rap, pop, youngsters' music, or R&B, every type is fit for communicating sex generalizations and sexual orientation parts through melody verses. This is about prominent music and its association with sexual orientation stereotyping and sex parts. When you

truly listen to these songs, there is quite often some method for relating it to sexual orientation generalizations (Chew, 2014). One artist who stands out and completely fits this profile of sexual generalizations in todays music is Nikki Minaj. Nikki Minaj highly reinforces stereotypes towards women by portraying them as sexual objects. She portrays this in many of her music videos, but “Anaconda” and “Stupid Hoe” stand out amongst them all. The bottom line is, sex sells. Music recordings have made another component of exposure since the first music video was presented in the 1980s. As corporate greed has turned into an expanding need, music specialists have observed sexuality to be a brisk and simple approach to draw in a crowd of people. The music business has given into portraying so as to propagate female generalizations ladies in view of their physical appearance. How frequently do you see a hip-bounce music video where ladies are moving provocatively, wearing meager dress, or displaying? Most music recordings fortify the cliché part of ladies.
Music recordings are greatly mainstream.

Online music video destinations, for example, MTV, Vevo, and YouTube draw a normal of 150 million individuals every month who see roughly two billion recordings for each day. And in addition offering diversion, music recordings assume a vital part in transmitting data about the social world and social standards. As anyone might expect, music recordings are observed to be connected with individuals' convictions, demeanors, and practices, though frequently in negative ways. For instance, watching music recordings is connected with a higher acknowledgment of savagery against ladies, more cliché dispositions concerning sexual and sex parts. Studies have additionally discovered music recordings to impact how ladies feel and consider their bodies. For instance, among female young people, music recordings with a particular spotlight on real appearance. They are likewise found to build body disappointment. Different studies have discovered a positive relationship between the measure of time spent watching music recordings and the significance of appearance and weight worries in juvenile young ladies. A study by Grabe and Hyde (2009) moreover recommends that music video utilization may be absolutely identified with depressive side effects what's more, uneasiness and additionally contrarily identified with body regard and trust in a conventional male accomplishment area, science. Nikki Minaj does a great job in doing this. A great example

of this is her music video called “Stupid Hoe”. “To start, one of the most interesting and rhetorically powerful aspects of Minaj’s “Stupid Hoe” is that in the song she positions herself as a super masculine speaker, rapping about women while simultaneously objectifying them.” (L, 2013). While she herself is a female, Minaj's verses propose that she is rapping as though she were a male, and she slights and typifies ladies in the same ways that guys famously do. As far as pictures that help Minaj accomplish this manly typification of ladies, Minaj's video always flashes a photo of an immense stripped butt, and Minaj wears to a great degree uncovering outfits all through the whole video. Minaj likewise finishes this generalization through her verses. A standout amongst the most unequivocal lines in this song is when Minaj tells “stupid hoes” to “suck my diznik if you take this jizzes” which in English would suggest Nikki Minaj telling “hoes” to suck my you know what, essentially making a visual picture in which Minaj advises ladies to get down on their knees before her and delight her, which is an amazingly hostile thing for men to summon ladies to do. Minaj also communicates that "these bitches is my sons, and I don't want custody" apparently situating herself as some kind of effective, disrespectful father figure to these ladies. In conclusion, toward the end of her tune she looks at herself to Lil' Wayne who is famously sexist and discourteous, saying, "I am the female Weezy." The way that Minaj thinks about herself to a well-known male figure, instead of a female one, is huge. By paralleling herself to Lil' Wayne, Minaj is by all accounts strengthening the thought she herself trusts that men are better than ladies and more deserving of admiration, in light of the fact that she tries to be similar to Lil' Wayne who is a man.
“This overt sexualization of things in everyday life is yet another example of the potentially harmful effects of embedded feminism and enlightened sexism; it seemingly brings to light the fact that sexual objectification in every situation (even if one is objectifying herself) is harmful to women, because it perpetuates the idea that seeing women as sexual objects for male pleasure is acceptable when it is not.” (Douglas, 2010).

Not just does Nicki Minaj essentially excuse the generalization of ladies in this music video, yet she additionally takes part in "skank disgracing" through her melody verses while at the same time fortifying the thought that ladies ought to be focused with one another. Rather than urging ladies to view themselves as sisters united by shared objectives for ladies' strengthening, Minaj over and again states, "Idiotic cultivators is my adversary," in this way specifically arranging herself against other

ladies.
