Video Vixens

When googling what the definition of "Video Vixen" was, I only came across Urban Dictionary's version which was "A female of color or mixed ancestry who strips off her clothes, and put into a rap video as a prop." This was the perfect example that women are objectified once they are shown in these videos doing nothing but dancing around in little or no clothes. This video focuses on how women of color are used and objectified in music videos and how normal it has become for women to aspire to be a video vixen.

In this video they discuss how the artist of these music videos are just the middle men to this cycle where the white man is on top because they are ultimately being controlled by the record companies. More and more young girls are aspiring to become like these vixens because of their roles in videos. It seems appealing to look good, dance and gyrate for well known rappers, be on camera and get paid for it. From the music videos, it seems that the only thing that drives these women is the male attention and money they are willing to earn.
