Thoughts About “The Message”
• The lyrics convey the message of how the rapper is a prisoner of poverty. Using such personal lyrics of connects to how rapping began as MCing; since the MC was usually a separated person from the DJ or whom ever was performing.
• The repetitive chorus in this song is still found in today’s rap songs, just like the repetition of the same beat or rhythm throughout a song still happens in rap now.
• This song to me still fits more into the category of spoken word since it has such a personal message to it, but the lyrics said over a beat changes the overall tone.
Thoughts About “Sun City”
• This song adapts to the more common structure of current songs with a chorus after each verse, a catchy hook, and a bridge
