    Boyz N The Hood Analysis

    John Singleton’s Boyz N the Hood, is a film that strongly illustrates violence, drugs, family life, respect, responsibility, and education. The movies opens with a statement “One out every 21 Black American males will be murdered…most will die by the hands of anther Black male.”(John Singleton) This film concentrates less on the conditions imposed on the Black community and more so on two central themes, the lack of respect and inability to take responsibility. Throughout the film people show blatant disrespect for one another. ‘Brother’ fights ‘brother’; they call their own friends niggers and the women are referred to as whores and bitches. The scene at the cookout is a prime example of disrespect towards women; it takes for Tre to point…

    J. Cole's Love Yourz Analysis

    One of my favorite songs, recently, has been J. Cole’s Love Yourz. This song relate to feelings that we can all relate to, feelings of envy and jealously. We often look at the life styles of those around us, and we see what they have, and we compare ourselves to them. We feel that if we don’t live a certain life style or drive a fancy car that we are not living a purposeful life. We fall into the trap of focusing on others blessings and ignoring our own. From personal experience I have done this. I have looked at the blessing of others, and wondered why my blessings were not the same.…

    What Is The Mood Of Amazing By Kanye West

    The song “Amazing” by Kanye West describes my summer and my personality for a few reasons. First and foremost, the mood of the song reflects my personality to a decent extent. For instance, this song has a slower, more “chill” feeling to it. As a person, I am predominantly calm, but have occasional moments of intensity. The Young Jeezy verse reflects the intense side of me, as the verse suddenly lashes out at you with wrathful, raspy vocals, while my calm side is reflected by the Kanye West verses, put out in a soothing, mellow voice. Consequently, the frequency of the verses also reflects my personality, as the song contains one intense verse amidst 7 calm ones, reminiscing how I am principally calm.…
