Hip Hop has changed over the years , the video's of today portray a different message to the videos in the past they portray a more violence ,women are seen as sexual objects , drug life , thug life , vulgar language and materialism.
These videos show people fighting ,shooting killing, stabbing , holding guns and referring to it as a positive lifestyle in their raps.Women are exposed , half naked and are used as an accessory throughout the video. They also used a lot of harmful drugs to promote and show off e.g. smoking a cigarette or rolling up weed, they have also increased in swearing most videos always have at least 5 words of swearing. The videos also portray a lot of materliasim where it seems you need to have certain things to fit into the group which would be called (clique) things such as cars, women,clothes , jewellery and MONEY(Gambling).

The dance moves in Hip hop videos today are very sexual and arousing, whereas in the past dancing was more about feeling the beat and the rhythm of the music and now its more about bumping and grinding and pop lock and dropping.
