The Ashley Judd Contraversy: Hip Hop and Sexism

Within the past couple of months, Ashley Judd released a memoir in which she talks about being sexually abused as a child. In one part of her book, she called hip-hop 'the contemporary soundtrack of misogyny.' This created a lot of controversy, with people in the rap industry calling her racist, etc. This article is pretty long, but the part that's relevant to our discussion of music starts about a third of the way in, with the paragraph starting 'case in point.'
