Video Vixens?!


Question:

Video Vixens?

Why is that when you watch a hip hop music video by a black rapper you see Latinas, blacks, asians, mixed girls, indians and sometimes white women. I hate to say this but it seems like the hip hop industry is bugging more multicultural. To many it is a good thing but i don't like it. Because i'm seeing less black models. If i were to open the magazine Latina i would most likely see no black women. But if I were to flip open Blackmen magazine i would see all types of women. I don't get it.


Answers:

I've actually been in a few videos myself out here in LA and what you are saying is 100% true!! The casting people use mostly multi-racial women in the videos and when the black girls do get cast our parts are cut or we're moved to the back.

For example Buffie (the body) was cast in the Tony Yayo video because he was tired of seeing so few dark-skinned women in videos.

But you have to also understand that there is backlash in the black community about video girls and how they feel it is exploiting black women. This confuses me because it seems as though they are saying they would prefer for the hip-hop videos to be filled with non-black women. I mean the women in these videos are paid and black people don't want black women to do them, other races will be used and take that money.

The artists are black, why shouldn't the women in the video be black?

Oh, and on that note about Black Men's magazine. They had a contest to find a new model to be featured in the magazine....a white girl won.
