Ep 24- From the '80s to Diddy: A Reckoning on Power, Consent, and the Normalization of Sexual Violence in Music

In this episode, former rapper Clarence Ferguson joins us to discuss the social acceptance and normalization of violence in the music industry. We talk about the evolution of rap lyrics from the 80's to today's hyper-graphic content that blurs the lines between a performer's persona and their reality. We dissect Diddy's abuse of power and control, and the stark reality that victims are often disbelieved and silenced by money, coercion, and non-disclosure agreements.
