Ha. One of the faces of rap music (Dr. Dre) started in a gangsta rap group (NWA) and featured misogynistic lyrics in both his group and solo career. And, according to sources, is about to become an executive at the largest technology company in the world.

If you honestly think misogyny–or, at a minimum, objectification of women–isn't easy to find in modern rap genres, I'd say you're seriously misinformed or delusional.

Eminem has the #3 album on iTunes right now. Here's one lyrical excerpt[0]:

Snatch the bitch out her car through the window, she screamin’ / I body slam her onto the cement, until the concrete gave and created a sinkhole / Bury this stink ho in it, then paid to have the street re-paved.

Speaking of Dr. Dre and misogyny... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dee_Barnes#Dr._Dre_incident

[Dr. Dre] picked her up by her hair and "began slamming her head and the right side of her body repeatedly against a brick wall near the stairway" as his bodyguard held off the crowd with a gun. After Dre tried to throw her down the stairs and failed, he began kicking her in the ribs and hands. She escaped and ran into the women's rest room. Dre followed her and "grabbed her from behind by the hair again and proceeded to punch her in the back of the head."

N.W.A.'s MC Ren later said "bitch deserved it", and Eazy-E "yeah, bitch had it coming." As Dr. Dre explained the incident, "People talk all this shit, but you know, somebody fuck with me, I'm gonna fuck with them. I just did it, you know. Ain't nothing you can do now by talking about it. Besides, it ain't no big thing-- I just threw her through a door."

It seems likely that he would have done the same to a male in the same situation, so I fail to see how that relates to misogyny rather than a general culture of violence.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I also avoid books by Thomas Harris because they glorify cannibalism.

Eminem has "songs" about literally kidnapping and murdering women. Lil Wayne and Drake have a song called "Bitches Love me." Misogyny in rap isn't "primarily contained" within a subgenre of the past.

Partially agree, but you still have rap/hip-hop club-bangers with misogynistic undertones that hit the mainstream every so often by the likes of Weezy, Lil' John, Flo' Rida, A$AP, Snoop, etc.

Gangsta rap has been dying out, but other genres are ebbing and flowing all the time.

Drill [1] for instance, is without a doubt more violent, misogynistic, and 'real' than any gangsta rap ever before.

The "Gangsta rap" subgenre was heavily misogynistic, but as you say, it has completely died out. Most rap these days is about how rich the rapper is (Jay Z) or about racism (Kanye).

Almost completely died out? Have you heard Kanye's new album?

Yeezus is nowhere even near early 2000's gangsta rap, sonically or lyrically.
