West. Kanye West was very impressed and rewarded Big Sean with a recording contract. Big Sean’s flow is very fluent and different from other rappers, because he can go from a fast pace flow to a slow pace flow and make it sound amazing. His music gives me a lot energy when I listen to it. It makes me feel like I’m at the club with my friends with a little alcohol in my system. That’s the vibe he gives me when I hear all of his music on the album because his lyrics relate to me in a way. On Dark Sky Paradise Sean talks about recent situations that have been occurring in his life such as his recent break- up, relationship with his family, and his place in the hip hop industry. On one of the songs when he talks about his break-up with Maya Rivera.
He provides a lot energy and he gives you this image that he really doesn’t like Rivera when he yells, “I Don’t F*ck With You.” This song was one of the few songs that made the top hip hip billboards. Most songs about break-ups will make you sad or depressed, but his version was more I’m more happy without you. His album was number one on the billboards in the month of March. West had a lot of input on this album, because if you listen to the sounds in the beats you can see the similarity between the two artists. Kanye and Big Sean did a collaboration together on a song called “Blessed.” The next day it was on the top of the charts on billboard. The help he gets from Kanye West makes his music well organized and more professional than others, because Kanye is a legend in the hip hop industry. The first song on his album “Dark Sky” started with this thunderstorm sound in the back ground to give you this feeling that he’s about to go hard. After the storm goes away Big Sean starts to go off(Rapping non stop) and at that point I was ready to hear the rest of the album, because of the fact that he convinced me with the first song. The beats he used on
the album had a lot of different sounds, backgrounds, and effects put together to fit his style of music. His beats remind you of dub step music, because of the way it switches from one pace to another. Also, if you’ve heard any of Kanye’s music you can hear how they combined the two artist styles to make a top album. The album fits well in the hip hop genre, because of the help from Kanye and the popular features on the album made it stand out. Not only did it stand out, but over five songs made the top charts, because they made music that the world could relate to.

First of all he calls the woman in the song, a bitch. It starts off with a skit and in this skit with the few lines it contains, the woman is completely disrespected because she does not provide the answer that was he wanted to hear. The script is “Yo let—let—let me ask you a question yo / Yo, would you kill for me? / Hmmm... yeah / What took you so long to answer motherfucker? / I don't know / The fuck wrong with you bitch?” he later on raps “And I admit, when the time is right, the wine is right / I treat you right, you talk slick, I beat you right / Just me and my bitch, me and my bitch.” Biggie says he beats his partner anytime she says something he does not like which promotes physical and emotional abuse to the people that listen to his music. People will think there is no problem with putting there hands on their partner cause Bigge does it. Biggie sends out the wrong type of message to people about how they should treat their partner in a

Kanye Omari West, an icon of hip-hop, pop culture, fashion and music in general. Kanye Omari West, a person belittled against and a person subjected to a life of racism and hate. Born on June 8th, 1977, Donda West, West’s mother, always knew he was destined for greatness, but did she know her son would turn out to be the Kanye West, a man lacking the respect he deserves for transforming a big part of the music we listen to on this very day? West came onto the scene in the late nineties but didn’t release The College Dropout until 2004, an album that took everybody by surprise. Kanye West changed the gangster filled rap genre by releasing his positive, soulful debut album, changing the way rappers dress, and paving the way for a whole new style of introspective lyrics and soul-inspired rap production in the mainstream.
. This album was one of the first to peel back the foundation of rap, exposing the real meaning of the rapping, to tell it how it is. Biggie rapped to give people a chance to see into his world, to feel his pain. This was a new concept, the lyrics were the focus of the song, not the beat, not the popularity. Biggie brought his reality to light. In the song “N***as Bleed” Biggie rhymes,
Victor Jara, An Unfinished Song is the biography of Victor Jara as told by his wife, Joan. Victor spent his youth in the poor urban areas of Chile during the time of World War II. Victor 's peasant background had a major effect on his songs because they were all about the political struggles of the lower class in Chile during that time period. Although he started his music career with lyrics influenced by his upbringing, politics were always an undeniably evident theme in all of Jara 's songs because it was an unavoidable topic. There was a lot of violence, corruption, and injustice going with Chilean politics.

Eminem was born in Missouri, but his formative years were influenced by his life in the neighbourhood of Detroit. Having developed a passion for rapping, at a young age of fourteen, he began by attending local open-mic competitions with friends Mike Ruby and Proof. As he grew up, he formed a group of rappers called 'D12', which became quite popular with audiences.

His albums have all been roaring hits, making him one of the biggest sensations in the rap industry. Most of this rapper's songs are based on his personal struggles with his family members and in his career. This is
The album The World From the Side of the Moon was the debut album from Phillip Phillips. This record’s genre is pop rock. The album has only two hit songs which are “Home” and “Gone, Gone, Gone.” After listening to the CD multiple times, it was found to be uninspiring. Some critic websites, including Slant Magazine, Rolling Stone, and AllMusic, give this album a mediocre rating of two and a half out of five stars.
Ever wonder why there were so many modern songs about bullying and love but none about our environment? Well, no worries, because here comes “Radioactive,” by Imagine Dragons. I chose this song because it’s about how the environment is polluted. This analysis explains the meaning and the message of the song.
“Buy it, use it, break it, fix it, / Trash it, change it, mail – upgrade it” (Pentatonix 1.1-2). sung by the up and coming acapella group Pentatonix. The first verse of their most known song makes you feel like robots are sing the song base on how almost robotic sounding the vocals are plus with all the vocals and the sound effects in the background. Pentatonix is a five-member acapella group: Scott, Mitch, Kristie, Avi and Kevin. They are known for covertly Daft Punk’s songs and medley into acapella arrangements. The group was publicly notarized when they completed and won on the third season of The Sing Off. Scott, Mitch, Kristie, and Avi do the vocals and Kevin does the vocal percussion or beat-boxing. Pentatonix’s acapella and beat-boxing adds meaning to Daft Punk’s medley when the group combines different verses to make one acapella arrangement. In
Personally, I believe that the lyrics and hidden meanings behind these songs reflect on the time periods, locations, and situations leading up to that moment.
With albums such as Section. 80, good kid, m.A.A.d city and To Pimp a Butterfly, Kendrick has been a light in the darkness for older hip-hop listeners as well as those searching for music with substance. In my opinion, To Pimp a Butterfly is one of the most important albums, regardless of genre, to be released in my lifetime. Speaking on a variety of subject matter including gang violence and fame, the bulk of the album unequivocally opens a discourse over issues nearly taboo in mainstream rap such as depression as well as a passionate, candid assessment of police violence. During an interview, Kendrick spoke on the themes within the album, saying, “These are issues that if you come from that environment it’s inevitable to speak on.” He added, “It’s just about balance. I don’t fault other artists. I don’t say that person should be doing that. As conscious as my music sounds, I would never point the finger because every day I make mistakes.” (Lynskey,
The first song I chose is called “We don't believe what's on T.V.” and it’s by twenty one pilots. The song is a fast and energetic song. The song is says that Tyler Joseph songwriter he is asking God if he fails will you be there for me. The meaning of the song is basically if he fails he wants to know if God will be there to help him out through his hard times. The song fits my life because if you don't do good in school or if I'm having trouble I want to know if someone would help me with my rough times. One figurative language is what if my dreams don't happen and that says don't let your dreams die. Another figurative language is I use to want to die before I'm old but because of you I might think twice and that says that
I was born on June 25th, 1999. The song that was number one out on my birthday was, ‘If You Had My Love’, by Jennifer Lopez. I think the message of this song is about a girl who has been cheated on and because of this she demands that she is treated right. Part of the lyrics from this song is, “Now if I gave you me, this is how it's got to be. First, I won't take you cheatin' on me. Tell me who can I trust if I can't trust in you and I refuse to let you play me for a fool.” Jennifer Lopez mentions that if she gave herself to him, she wants the relationship to have trust in each other, and does not want him to use her or be cheated on. Her lyrics sound like she has been hurt before and does not want to be hurt anymore. “I don't want you, trying to get with me and I end up unhappy (Don't need the hurt and I don't need the pain)” I connect with this lyric because I have dated guys before Aaron and
