    Analysis of the Song "Runaway Love"

    Ludacris does a remarkable job of portraying his message about the struggles that some adolescents are faced with. “Runaway Love”, by Ludacris, featuring Mary J. Blige (2007), represents the theme of struggle through hip-hop and rap music. It is about little girls who are “stuck up in the world on their own.” They have to take care of themselves because the people they are around do not care about them. They range from nine to eleven years in age, and their goal in life, at such a young age, is to run away from home. Ludacris is trying to get the listener to realize the struggles that even children have to face because adults are not the only ones who have problems, like most people believe. He is very successful in portraying his message through this song. Girls at that young of an age should be enjoying their childhood, but instead they are forced to become adults and take care of themselves.…

    Don T Let It Show Analysis

    This is the album's first track and it discusses killing Jay-Z's ego. This track was written by Shawn Carter known as Jay-Z, Producer No I.D., Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson. No I.D. was also a producer in this single. This single samples Alan Parsons Project's song "Don't Let It Show". In this track, Jay-Z discusses important events that have affected his life and were highly publicized. The first occurrence was the shooting of his crack addicted brother when he was twelve years old. Although, Jay Z was never prosecuted for this event, he never forgets it. In addition, he rhymes about growing up in the Marcy projects in Brooklyn without a father. His father abandons him and the rest of the family when Jay Z was young. He mentions how for a long time he had a built an "armor" to protect him against getting emotionally hurt. However, now as a father, he has to show his daughter that he loves her and is her super hero. Additionally, he rhymes about how before being a successful rapper he sold drugs to survive and the guilt he feels for doing so. Jay-Z briefly mentions rapper Kanye West and the rant Kanye did at his 2016 Sacramento Tour Stop. The lyrical content in this track is emotionally raw with a low tempo sound.…

    What Is Dead Prez

    When you show me your mind, it make me wanna show you mine” followed by “for me, boo, makin love is just as much mental/ I like to know what I’m getting into.” Although this song may seem disconnected from the no-holds-barred approach of previous songs, the argument presented here by dead prez demonstrates their commitment to the complete cultural liberation of the African American community. As bell hooks and others have keenly observed, sexism is often pushed under the rug when discussing racism and black empowerment. Dead prez, by expanding their call for liberation to include women, join the “small number of black males…

    Lana Del Rey Research Paper

    It was late in 2011 that Elizabeth Grant launched Lana Del Rey into the stratosphere with just one song, Video Games, and its accompanying video. Drenched in nostalgia and a cinematographic production, the breakthrough single set the tone for her career and character. Easily one of the most iconic tracks of this decade, Video Games feels both light as a feather and enormous. Here, Lana uses her lower register to paint lines about her infinite commitment to her man, even if he doesn’t seem to feel the same way towards her. A tragic relationship? Sounds like A grade subject matter for her.…

    Numb By Linkin Park related text ( Belonging )

    I have chosen to research this song and video as they are the embodiment of the sub-culture that is the main target audience for the 'emocore' genre. This song seemingly calls out to those who are sick and tired of being told to conform to societal norms, either by their parents or peers. This is a very 'emo' message to convey, as the target audience of emotionally troubled teens feel that they can relate to it in that they feel those around them try to force them into normality, not allowing them to express their emotional side. This song allows for the conveyance of those emotions in a very powerful manner, with the singer verging on screaming the lyrics in the chorus, which is a popular feature of heavier 'emocore' music. This idea is very much reflected in the lyrics with talk of expectations and 'pressure', also with the singer wanting to be 'more like me and less like you'. The lyrical style is very personal; reading almost as if it is a letter to a parent or peer who the sender is trying to break away from.…

    Keep Ya Head Up Tupac Analysis

    In verse two he uses rain as reference to his current situation. ‘You know it's funny when it rains it pours”(2pac). Meaning when bad things happen other more difficult situations seem to occur at the same time. Another figurative language that he uses are Idioms. He doesn't have that much , but he is trying to make it the best way he can. “I'm trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cent” (2pac). One of most interesting part of this song is when he talks about blaming his mother for turning his brother into a crack baby. “We ain't meant to survive , cause it's a setup” (2pac). Which goes in to explain that the government want the black community to…

    Bad Rap

    Every so often, a new style of music emerges in America. In the 1970s and 80s, it was rap. For many years, rap brought the population of African American’s together in a changing society. They all knew how it felt to be discriminated and terrorized. Rap was what people could relate to, because they knew they were not the only ones in trouble. Now, rap has changed for the worst. Modern mainstream rap is an embarrassment compared to the art form it used to be.…
