==Criticism==
Many groups, including Christian groups, widely decry the hip-hop culture, because it demeans women, strongly promotes violence and as well as an overly materialistic sense of life. Songs such as ''"Big Pimpin'"'' by Jay-Z promote prostitution while songs like ''"Dre Day"'' describe the performers; Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre performing depraved sexual acts. Songs like ''"Where the hood at?"'' have become anthems for young gangs and often incite listeners to behave violently.
