That's arguable. He's not as blatant as some other rappers, but he does use the terms "bitches" and "hoochies" in several of his tracks.

I guess it depends on your interpretation of the word "demeaning"...
 
Easy. A Tribe Called Quest. The Roots. Foreign Exchange. Black Star. Little Brother. Shall I go on or do you need more?

I think Tupac is a close example. Can anyone prove this wrong? I'm curious.

He's not really demeaning women as much as you think in that song, he's explaining to a hoochie why he (and many others) think she's a btch. However, he definitely puts women down in his songs, and will then create a song like "Keep Your Head Up" talking about how we much we should value our women on an educated level. He was night and day in many of his songs.

 
Beastie Boys music used to be very demeaning to women, but they've grown up and dont do that anymore.

For every 10 songs a rapper throws out that demeans woman, he'll write a song to make up for it, saying women are the queens of the earth and stuff like that.

You won't have find a rapper that hasn't demeaned a woman in his song. Male or Female. But rocks stars are infamous for demeaning women, they just dont write songs about it.

Dammit. OK, next would have been Kanye West, but I can't use him either.

I think this is going to be hard to say. He doesn't ever say that women are worthless, he just talks about sex. Name me one instance of Tupac demeaning women in general.
 
There are hundreds if not thousands of rap songs that don't demean women, idiot.

There are countless rap groups and rappers who don't make songs demeaning women. Oh and by the way Will Smith was a rapper. Maybe you should know what the hell you are talking about first before you try to render some kind judgement.
