Same Love Analysis

Improved Essays
The song “Same Love” by Macklemore is a very powerful song that has a deeper meaning behind it. The Song “Same Love” had changed my opinions and thoughts about gay rights and homophobia(people who have phobia of gay) within the hip-hop community and the world. Also it want us youth of our society to think in a new direction.

Humans in our society believe that the actions and activities that people are involved are either classified as gay or straight. “Same Love” starts off with the lyrics, “When I was in the third grade, I thought that i was gay, because i could draw, my uncle was, and i kept my room straight”. This clearly points out that society labels and classifies things as “gay” if the actions and activities involved are doing the

At the end of the song “Same Love” by Macklemore says “Whatever god you believe in, We come from the same one”. Macklemore wants us to believe that it doesn 't matter of what religion we are in or what we believe in, we are all human beings that come from a mother womb. We live in a society where people are labeled as not human or people getting kicked out of church. Why? Because society can’t accept the homosexuals and there ways of thinking. For over the years countries like India where gays are discriminated have always been treated really badly. Even is christianity, due to the fact that in the bible it says a female was created for a man to love, many homesexuals don’t get accepted in church. This type of behaviour is no different that all other people in our society. The entire song shows the life of a boy growing up with a struggle to discover his true sexual orientation, but in the end everyone accepted who he was. Being positive to one another even if they are gay or not, you can greatly changed their life forever into a happy one or a sad one. I personally have a gay friend and i respect him and treat him just like the rest of my friend, i have never once laughed because he was gay. Discovering that he was gay was new to me but it didn’t mean that he is not

    With this song he uses his personal history to let his listeners know that he is using his music to express his views rather than using his status to make money off of the genre.

These artists tell similar stories of gangs, political oppression, and financial hardship. Macklemore is just one example of a handful of white hip-hop artists who understand that they are the minority in this style of music.…

    On the night of January 28, in 1985 in the 97th General Hospital at a United States Army base in Frankfurt, West Germany, is the birthplace of a man that would soon change the music world forever with his powerful array of lyrical meaning and word play. Also known as Jermaine Lamar Cole, J. Cole’s arguably most popular song, “Love Yourz” not only demonstrates palpable humility in which Cole compares the two types of lives he has lived, but also distress to a belief that this nation has built itself around, the American Dream.

    In Same Love, Macklemore confronts the audience within his first spit through the elaboration of his opinion claiming that his uncles were gay, noting that their unity, being unidentified by the law was a flaw in American society. “America the brave still fears...” fortifies his belief in the weak and incompetent legal system through the intertextual reference to the American national anthem ‘The Star-Spangled Banner,’ depicting irony through the juxtaposition, conjecturing the flaw as salient, motivating societal transition to a progressive America, ultimately influencing the global outlook. In a similar manner, “Have you read the YouTube comments lately? ‘Man, that's gay’ Gets dropped on the daily,” helps elucidate society’s desensitized nature and disregard towards homosexuals, aided by the rhetorical question to create profound contemplation amongst…

    It seems so simple to love, that the comfort of attraction lends itself to everyone and that the subtleties of interest are selfsame, by instinct at least; even so, it’s said that we’re conditioned to love, but to me, it’s not that we’re conditioned to it as much as we’re in the condition of its capability, simply being human—to love’s as natural as life itself, as typical as sight or sound, as native as a thought of rationality. Trouble, then, comes about when love we know true doesn’t quite liken the love someone else experiences, from which differences and judgements then arise. This is true of many circumstances, but continues to be true for Americans who identify as LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgendered)—that judgments of them…
