Lyrics

Kendrick’s line “What do you stand for? Are you a activist,” gives the feeling of a contradiction between what is the proper force to use to get the attention of powerful people. The battle is between using violence or peace as a tactic to be heard. The lyrics as well as the sound feed into the contradiction between violence and peace. When Kendrick Lamar makes strong statements like “King Kendrick,” the music consists of a fast bassline and what sounds like a violin with a deep scary sound.…

worth nothing, this impacted me a lot. But the lyrics of songs helped me deal with this and also grow from it. Being able to hear someone is going through the same thing as you, and is still strong is inspiring. Or to read a book where the characters are having a hard time, but make it through made me see that it would get better. Music has always been a big part of my life, I spent a great deal of my childhood just listening to music, dissecting the lyrics and discovering what they meant to me.…

Rap has a long history in this world to be many things than just negative. I believe that if rap music lyrics and videos were used as evidences in trials it would cause many…

This type of sound does not appeal to me. I prefer music that is fast paced and has catchy lyrics. This song meets none of these desired requirements. As mentioned previously, love is a common notion in 1980’s soul music. This song tells the story of a woman who cheats on her boyfriend and gets caught.

In the first verse we see the mention of vulgar slang words. Ice cube begins the first line with “Fuck the police! Comin' straight from the underground;” this line by itself plays an important role in the song. Not only is it the title of the rap song, but it is also the first time any music artist is so explicit in a record. Before “Fuck da Police” was released many rap artists mentioned expletives, drugs, and discrimination in their music, however not in the same way N.W.A managed to do. The…

they lack respect for them and see them as weaker. A vast majority of young girls who listen to hip hop don’t bat an eye to these terms and are not offended by them unless they are called one directly. By containing such disrespectful, sexualizing lyrics, hip hop has carved a path for society to view sex, without purpose for reproduction, as a common aspect of life. Today, although having many sexual partners is still frowned upon, for women anyway, it is still much less taboo than it was in the…

It sounds very graceful and calm. The way the lyrics rhyme after each stanza (excluding the only time part) makes the song flow smoothly. The lyrics fit the romantic mood rather well, seeing as most of the lines deal with destiny and love; two things that resonate very well with the story of Romeo and Juliet. In the scene itself, when Juliet is making…
