There were only women. The women had everything, they had built their society to perfection. The world was at peace, and in perfect order. The women had a solution for everything: climate changes, world hunger, and poverty. Although they had all this, they wanted more. They had a thirst that water couldn’t quench. They had read all the stories about true love, and finding prince charming. Since women learned to reproduce on their own, they had wiped out the male species entirely. A century later…

won’t win a Nobel Prize for the lyrics of his signature hit (or any other of his songs, really), but no song managed to encapsulate the spirit of doing donuts in an empty grocery store’s parking lot like this one. 99. Eminem - Lose Yourself Lose Yourself was the exact moment when Eminem was seen as more than just a goofy troublemaker, yet it’s a shame it is now only remembered for being the official White Bros™ anthem and for its infamous “mom’s spaghetti” bit. Put back in context though, it…

Critic comments such as the ones Markowicz makes here are extremely ironic. Male musicians like Eminem who express violence have been praised for their lyrics by prominent media outlets, not degraded like Taylor Swift. For instance, a Los Angeles Times writer Robert Hilburn commented on Eminem’s aggressive and violent content by stating, “Eminem is simply exercising his creative impulses.” Hilburn’s statement perfectly demonstrates the double standard female musicians…

2016 Jon at the age of 25 still lives at home with his parents in Long Island. Despite having a hugely successful music career. Jon draws a lot of his inspiration for his music from artists such as Timbaland, Pharrell Williams, J Dilla, Kanye West, Eminem, Phil Collins and Sting. Jon’s music consists of a very unique fusion of pop, hip-hop and R&B. His music is full of personal stories of love, heartbreak, family, and how he feels about his career. He uses strong…

clearly see from the title that the song shows no respect for women, but rather downgrades women and portrays them as objects. Hip Hop songs doesn’t just affect relationships between men and women but also men and men. In another song by Lil Wayne Ft. Eminem, “Drop the World,” there is so much hatred and aggression. First of all the song starts with “I got ice in my veins, blood in my eyes, Hate in my heart, love in my mind,” from the first verse we can already tell that he is going through a…

“Crooked smile” j. cole is a song that most people can relate to, as a whole. Globally most people are changing the way they look or either do not like how they look, causing themselves to love themselves less. This song explains to those that they are perfect the way they are without changes. He says raps in the song that “We ain't picture perfect but we worth the picture still” (line 10) Cole wants the listener to know that the way a person is as perfect as they come. People don’t have to…

The 19th Amendment and Title IV were passed giving women equality, however society would beg to differ. Society continues to oppress and control women and minorities, not through the use of laws. Rather, through different forms of media, privilege, intersectionality, patriarchy, and institutions to name a few. Women today legally have the same rights and opportunities as men but there are factors that continue to oppress them. Feminist. That one simple word is full of ideas and emotions. When…

Americans are still in today’s society viewed differently as opposed to a part of the overall collective. Dr. Janifer stated that there is no such thing as race and reinforced this notion by discussing Marshal Mather, better known as Eminem. Dr. Janifer explained how when Eminem was first introduced to the rap industry he wasn’t always liked because it seemed as though he was trying to appropriate African American culture. It was only after he was found to be a very good artist that African…

I personally do not think it is far to criticize artists and the media for violent acts. One reason is that every person is responsible for their own action. Every law or rule created today has consequences based on peoples own actions weather the act is violent or not. How can you blame someone else when you run a red light? So then how can you blame the artist or media when you were the one who committed such a violent act? In this society we have been raised to take responsibility of our own…

From early art in the 1600’s to the emergence of television, the media has had a rapid and unstoppable invasion on lives. Media overwhelms society with drama and entertainment. In “Supersaturation, or, The Media Torrent and Disposable Feeling” by Todd Gitlin, he asserts paintings were what television is today: entertainment. In the 1600s, these paintings were passed down from generation to generation, and today, television shows rarely last two seasons. Gitlin feels as though the media…
