Analysis Of Mod Sun

Improved Essays
On November 10, Mod Sun, a well known American rapper, author, rock musician and poet, released his new album, BB. This new release is jam packed full of free spirit, self-realization and finding happiness in what you have. The vast majority of the songs on BB push for free thought and a carefree attitude. A prime example presenting this would be his song, #noshirton, which states, “no shirt on, head hanging out the window”. Obviously there is no deeper meaning to uncover from these lyrics, it is initially an album that will satisfy your inner child but, won’t send you into a deeper condition contemplating your life decisions.
On the other hand there is also a slight contrast in a couple songs listed in the album, mainly grow thru what u go

    In the essay “Dawn’s Early Light” by Richard Rodriguez, the author demonstrates how the addition of immigrants has changed how Americans view themselves. Since the 20th century, the Mexicans were illegally employed in order to suit the American needs: crop harvesting and cheap laboring. Even if the Mexicans are “disrespectful to American laws,” their presence also indicates the hypocrisy of Americans as well – by illegally employing them. The addition of Mexican immigrants also caused the assimilation of Spanish culture across the United States; that is Spanish being the unofficially, second language of the United States. The Americans are also not in control of the movement at the borders since it is an “aspect of tragedy, of circumstances,”…

    During the decades of coketown industrialization, profits flowed to the factory-owners, and wealthy entrepreneurs who made up a small portion of society. As a result, workers worked in harsh conditions, and faced constant poverty. The significance of Fordism is that it gave workers higher wages, spreading the prosperity of industrialization to the masses, and marking the beginning of consumerism. J. R. McNeill describes this best when he writes in his book Something New Under the Sun “Ford saw that sharing these gains with his workers suited his own interests…he paid laborers enough to buy a Model-T… They enjoyed an affluence and leisure that in the nineteenth century would have required an army of household servants” (Pgs 316 & 317).…

    Throughout the course of human history and during many different societies, women have been treated as subordinates to men. A recurring theme between civilizations is that men are the superior sex, and a woman’s main role in society was to bare offspring.

The role of real women in a genuine Islamic society can be observed through Rafea Anad’s life in the documentary Solar Mamas; however, Disney’s Aladdin also provides another fictional yet sometimes accurate depiction of a women in a similar Islamic society but from a different socioeconomic background.

    Once in awhile we will see some protest songs gain recognition. In order for a protest song to climb the charts today, the message has to be a little bit more oblique, as most labels do not want to be tied with controversial political opinions. Radiohead’s song Idioteque, the 8th track off their album Kid A, is a classic example of a protest song that’s message is not completely obvious. Idioteque, written in 2000, illustrates a doomsdays situation, most likely being about climate change. The lyrics read, “Who's in bunker, who's in bunker?…
