In the song "that sexy body" FatManScoop raps about what he considers to be a sexy body saying that if your butt is larger than your waist you have a sexy body. Songs like this promote body images that only a minority of women actually have. This song is only a limited example of the many others like it that promote the same type of body. In urban culture for many people it is more appealing if your butt is of large proportion to the rest of your body which is not realistic for the average everyday women. If some music promotes only this limited view of a "sexy" body what is it saying about everyone who doesn't have that shape. Songs like this can affect women negatively if they don't look like that.
