Men and women nowadays are usually judged for their stereotypical actions. In the music video Bedrock by Young Money, Lil Wayne, and, Drake. This video shows women as sex objects and fulfilling other typical female stereotypes. The women are just around the house half naked while the men are dressed and sitting around. Women nowadays are just being used for their body and what they can do to please people.
A great example is at the beginning of the video it starts as these two girls are just making breakfast in their bra and short shorts while all the rappers slowly start to wake up or they are just chilling. Lil Wayne wakes up with at least 7 women around him just half naked while he's just shirtless then puts on a shirt on once he gets up, this shows that men and women bodies are treated differently because while the guy wakes up he puts on his shirt while he has many women around him half naked and women are just used more for their body then men are. This just shows the women are used just for their body image which is having a perfect body with a nice face and the women are just used as sex objects.
Women are used as a sex object because eventually later in the video one gets in bed with one of the rappers later in the night.Although i feel like the girls have some agency because they have to know what they get themselves into. Also half of the women there are just half naked while the men are fully clothed. Just like in other music videos, women i feel like are always in the background showing something that makes people interested and that makes the video more appealing for their viewers. I surely don't recall seeing women in music videos fully dressed not showing anything.
The men's stereotypes in this is them being a ladies man and a gangster. These stereotypes are because all the guys in the video have a female with them and signing about them or with them. Also some of them like Lil Wayne can fit the stereotype gangster because he just looked like a gangster by what he was wearing and of who he is.
Women should stop being used just for their looks and actually play a scene in music videos or have a meaning. Eventually its gonna have an impact on society by women being used as sex objects or are really just there for their body image to please people and make them more interested into the music video.
