Examples of Rap Videos

Mainly men Usually of an ethnic origin Caps, hoodies, casual clothing. Jewellery is worn. No use of instruments. Possible use of drugs. Common to have gun violence. A lot of Rap videos are very similar. Stereotypical for females to have lack of clothing whilst dancing

next to said rapper. Also common for fast, flashy, expensive cars to be seen in the

videos. There is often a story being told in each of the videos, that tends to

relate back to the lyrics themselves. The target audience for these videos is usually for teenage males. Fairly dark settings.
