Analysis Of The James Brown Poem

After listening to the James Brown song, it is easy to hear that the rhythm of the song catches your hear. The rhythm of the songs definitely make them a obvious choice to keep the party going. The first parts in Funky Drummer that I would sample is from 2:00 to 2:30, where the saxophones seems to be in a groove. it does not have any shouts or grunts during this part. That part is just solid and clean, and the beat just grabs you rhythmically. The second part I would sample is from 5:40 to 5:53. I would sample this part because of the drum break. This part has James Brown's voice on it. It starts with James saying ha-ha then James saying "Ain't It Funky" 4xs. That part could fix in any of todays Hip Hop with no problem.

The songs I relate

    Poem Analysis: Brown's The Ten Commandments

    In the poem, “Romans 12:1,” brown tries to explain to the haters to himself. This happens in the poem in the line that says, “On the whole/ Hurt by me, they will not call me/Brother.” In this there may be some feeling of hatred, directed to another poem that references spiritual verses. In “The Ten Commandments,” the speaker talks about the sins and the sinfulness that he himself. A line in the poem says, “But I could be covetous.…

    Analysis Of The Poem 'Down Into Harlem' By Langston Hughes

    Langston Hughes creates this poem by incorporating crucial details, words, and images to prove his point on the paradox he has created in the two worlds he identifies in his writing. Hughes reveals his inferior stature in the college he attends by stating he is the only “colored” male in his class. Not only that, Hughes takes time to explain that he returns home from the college by going “down into Harlem,” and traveling “up” to his room. The meticulous use of “down” and “up” emphasizes the transition from his inferior status at the white- dominated college to the his sanctity and dominance in his room writing his paper.…

    James Brown Case Study

    This was at 0.07-0.43 of the song with the organ making a grand entrance at 0.44 of the song. As a DJ, I would loop the drum solo at 5:31-5:38 and use it as a break. Funky President: James Browns yell can be repeated and can even be used as a drop to keep the crowd going in other songs. In 1:23-1:29 the introduction of the horns brought a freshness to the song and would surely catch the attention of the listener or the audience. I would use the drums from the beginning…

    Song Of The Buffalo Boy Poem Analysis

    Based on the book Song Of The Buffalo Boy by Sherry Garland, the theme is “Never give up” Some possible reasons for this being the theme is how in the beginning, the steps Loi takes to be with Khai instead of marrying Officer Hiep, in the middle how she lived on the streets of Saigon, and finally at the end how all her earlier efforts payed off. One reason why the theme is “never give up” is how she tried to change Officer Hiep’s opinion on marrying her. She changed the recipe and ingredients in the food for her engagement party by “setting aside a few ingredients for cha gio...adding some crushed bitter root... the pork would be rotten and the mushrooms moldy, to ensure they would taste terrible.” (Page 67)…

    Poem Analysis: The Harlem Dancer By Claude Mckay

    In “The Harlem Dancer,” Claude McKay describes a woman who is performing to a crowd of youths through the eyes of an audience member. The narrator seems to be explaining everything that has to do with her body and appearance, rather than what she is actually thinking. He later realizes that she is unhappy while performing, though it is still unknown as to what the dancer is thinking. The use of tone and diction reveals that she is actually distancing herself from her reality due the traumatic experience of her ongoing objectification and victimization of predation.…

    Analysis Of 'White Man' By Langston Powell

    Powell has a very interesting and intriguing interview and it follows up with questions and answers asked to him. The main topic that he tackles in this interview has to do with race. Race is a very complex topic to talk about but he does it in a way that is very eye opening and easy to hear and understand. One phrase that he says that caught my attention was when he said that white people are not while when they are mixed with black blood, [Blackness destroys whiteness] and if you really look deep into it most whites have some sort of back blood running in their veins.…

    Fade This One To Black: Poem Analysis

    Fade This One to Black Black shrouds of darkness, as black as the night, black shadows dancing - across the night sky. By the light of the moon, with wings outstretched, bats playing in the shadows. Shades of gray, fading away, turning into inky blackness - a void of despair. Clutches at a broken heart, when love fades into darkness, not even the light of a glowing candle - can take away the gloom.…

    Analysis Of Once Poem By Langston Hughes

    1) We move from the academic observations of Dr. W.E.B.

    Analysis Of Theme For English B By Langston Hughes

    I believe a poet choose to employ an open form such as visual poetry because of its unique ability of resemblance, rather in textual form or visual form. Also, it takes a very imaginative poet to create visual poetry. Visual poetry is like artistic development, helping a poet become better with poetry as well as helping others do the same. After reading “Theme for English B” by Langston Hughes, I notice how the poetry form resembled what was depicted in the poem. The teacher tells a student to write about something deep, meanwhile; the student visualized his or herself in which became the “page for English B”.…

    I hold the chapbook in my hand and question what the contents may hold. I breathe a sigh as I open it and see the first poem titled “The Green Room”.

    Analysis Of Bullet The Blue Sky By Win Tek Poem

    “Bullet the Blue Sky” and “Minority Poem” are two poems which utilize figurative language, such as metaphors, similes, and symbols to artistically illustrate how minorities and third-world nations are treated by the United States and/or its government. “Bullet the Blue Sky,” written by the band U2, elucidates how the United States government employs deception and war to coerce foreign nations into adopting its political beliefs. Specifically, it elaborates on the journey of the protagonist, Bono, who has experienced firsthand the unnecessary devastation and destruction caused in foreign countries by the United States military. “Minority Poem,” written by Win Tek Lum, addresses racial discrimination, explaining how the majority group, Caucasian-Americans,…

    Poetry Analysis: An Analysis Of My People By Langston Hughes

    Langston Hughes’s poem “My People” is a short poem that gives off a variety of meanings. Hughes’s poem gives the reader a different form of viewing people by emphasizing certain features from his people, although not directly throwing it out there for the reader to grasp right away. Also, interior and outer beauty. When the reader first reads this short poem, they would assume that the narrator is implying that his people are beautiful and that is all, just beautiful. Although, as the reader continues to read the poem thoroughly they will realize that there is more to it then just “beautiful” through out the rest of the poem.…
