Hip Hop Hooraayyy...




The photographed image is just as questionable as the title of this article. Pushing boundaries? Well this is a billboard for denim for the clothing line, Akoo, by rapper T.I. What is this photo suggesting? Well Newark, New Jersey residents suggest a sexual act. Her hands are clearly pulling down his pants, head on the thigh.
There are countless ways of advertising denim; it could have been a couple walking and the photographer focuses on the jeans….simple as that.

Is this what the darker skinned model is reduced to? An executive director at CBS outdoor says, “It was a sexy, racy fashion ad, as they so often are.” Yeah, yeah, yeah sex sells right? Clearly demeaning women does. Well…comment away!

PS. I don’t know if you noticed his hand behind her head , smh*

*smh: shaking my head (in disgust)
