"Popular songs of today have more power than ever before. They dictate social circles, fashion trends, the clubs you go to (preference of DJ playlists), new memes, slang... the list goes on. And let’s not forget – according to popular conspiracies – mainstream music is also responsible for ‘brainwashing’ the delicate minds of the prepubescent population."

This is really negative for hip-hop as this almost portrays the type of music to be 'brainwashing' and really put an affect on their audience, this really does promote the hip hop stereotype of making listeners do what rappers rap in their lyrics.

"The incessant synths and lack of genuine substance that emitted from the homogeneous noise that people call ‘music’ really had me feeling as if my employers were conspiring against my wellbeing. It’s strange how it takes a team of songwriters to assemble such garbage."

This really doesn't challenge hip hop stereotypes but gives them an advantage as the use of hip hop music being described as 'garbage' really does portray rap to be pointless and nonsense and really does put a bad reputation on the genre

"Surfing through Rap Genius I can see how people throw out suggestions without getting themselves into the mind of the artist"

This really does portray the stereotypes of hip hop as the uses of the quote explaining that people throw out suggestions before connecting to a rapper really does show how many people really don't listen to genre and understand what it means before making a negative statement.

"One thing that is clear is that the older generation has a tendency to blame for much of the violence that goes on in the world. I see this as a misinterpretation. It begs the ongoing question of whether the media create and reinforce violent stereotypes, or whether media producers simply construct a reflection of society’s ills?"

This really does put a positive affect on hip hop as the uses of the quote showing what hip hop really means but also shows how the media put a negative affect on hip hop to make sure that the negative stereotypes of hip hop are promoted making audiences understand that the media are putting hip hop in a negative place when really its not.

"The elder generation have an inclination of blaming rap for much of the violence that goes on within the younger world"
