So I am writing a paper on bling culture / hyperdominance in hip hop
lol and I need some help plz
Who do you guys think is the most blinged out/over the top rapper? The most absurdly masculine? Any songs or videos in particular to go with these two questions? I will put you in my works cited ![]() |

Lots of bling:
Absurdly masculine would probably be DMX because he is always shirtless and rapping about how hot it is in hell. |

Yeah for absurdly masculine you need someone who raps about either 'real life' ish or something else dark and moody. 'Bling' in itself is pretty 'queer' in my opinion, superficial and not tough and 'manly' in the slightest.

Yeah, those Cash Money guys started this bling shit. Look for music about ridiculous shit like spinner rims too.
Thing is, this bling obsession seems to be dying down now that rappers are investing (50 Cent, Jay-Z) and shit like youtube helps people get inexpensive videos get massive exposure (Soulja Boy). |

Don't forget to add how all these guys want to be like Tony Montana from Scarface since they don't have real father figures.
Jay-Z and Nas both have videos recreating the bathtub scene from that film. |

Try find the episode of MTV cribs where Chingy's bodyguard scratches one of his spinners and he almost cries because he knows he can't afford to replace them.
