Beyonce's Song Analysis

First, both songs are similar in some ways. Both songs might be the the same because of notes or maybe they both use instruments at the same parts of the song. Both songs use the same guitar solo. Both songs, also, use background voices. They might not be in the same parts of the song,

In the 2015 kendrick Lamar song “u”. Kendrick describes the feelings that constantly haunt his heart and the guilt he carries everyday. Reflecting on his darkest moments, lingering pain and the details of his depression. The song “u” by kendrick uses literary tools like Soliloquy and Conflict to show how built up guilt leads to his prolonged depression.

They are different as the second song follows more the cultural aspects of early rap / hip-hop music as the DJ is well involved in the sound by performing during the song. Moreover, the first song is different as it was set to be more of a club song to appeal the youth demographic. I like the second song better as the song I like the sound better the DJ scratching and the lyrics which use more of a word play and hip-hop lingo. In my opinion the first song main purpose is to be played at the club to make people dance and it is sexually driven to ensure commercial success as it said that sex sells. In the other hand the second song shows more the true nature of hip-hop as the video shows some of the basic elements of hip-hop, such as the DJ and MC, which depict the early days of hip-hop, which main purpose was to share their culture through

To start things off, we will discuss the similarities. There are three that jump right off the page: one, both these songs were first released in the third album of the respective artists; two, both songs were released in the 1960s decade; and three, both songs were formatted along 7" diameter i.e. both were phonograph records.

For this paper I decided to do the original Sir Mix-A-Lot “Baby Got Back” song compared to Nikki Minaj cover version song called “Anaconda.” Both these creative songs are alike in ways but, are also very different. Sir Mix-A-Lot was a hot early 80’s MC rapper and Nikki Minaj is a hot 2000 MC rapper. As I listen to Nikki cover version all I could think about was Sir Mix-A-Lot original version. I think the lyrics in both songs are a little silly, but it gives the people what they expect from both rappers.

In 1982, Michael Jackson released one of the most iconic songs/music videos the world has ever seen. “Thriller” is a Halloween classic, and has been a hit since the day it was released. The Thriller Music video is roughly 13 minutes long, and is classified as a “short film”. 34 years later, the iconic Beyoncé released her album “Lemonade.” Lemonade is made up of 12 songs, and each song has its own separate video, but all the videos somehow connect and the videos were turned into an hour-long film. For this blog, I will compare/contrast the two videos.

In my opinion, Kendrick Lamar, an award-winning rapper and songwriter, has one of the best abilities to describe his distressed and abused lifestyle in Compton, California. He is not your original cliché artist who does not speak about anything meaningful. Kendrick, also known as K. Dot, is one of the most well known and most respected rappers in this era. Not only does he speak about his gloomy past, but he also speaks about his fortunate future. His ability to give detailed representations of his struggles and his story telling allows me to, metaphorically, enter the mind of Kendrick Lamar.

Both of these types of songs include singing of course and they both include tunes that can get fairly katchy.

There’s criticism and contention on love songs being seen as gospel songs

The two songs I have chosen for comparison are: Brick House by the Commodores, and Sexy Bitch by David Guetta Featuring Akon. Both songs are about a beautiful, curvaceous woman that the singers find to be very attractive. These two songs were released almost forty-two years apart and are from two very different genres.

This includes standards of beauty, empowerment, culture, and the shared parts of our history. The message that Beyonce is trying to convey to us is that there are real issues going on that are constantly being ignored. She is also stating that if no one else will voice their opinions on these issues then she will. As I analyzed the position that I received was discrimination to African American culuture, police brutality, tragedy, and cultural pride. I agree with the message behind this video/song. For many years cultural issues have been ignored and failed to be solved due to political

Beyoncé Knowles, a well-known singer, songwriter uses two of her songs: “Freedom” and “Formation” to tell the story of herself. “Freedom” is the beginning of her story where she is searching for freedom and equality showing that there is still much inequality and injustice for African Americans in America today. The song slowly transitions to a more positive tone when she seems to have made something beneficial out of her difficult situation. “Formation,” however, has a completely different tone. While she does address negative situations from the past at the beginning of the song, she quickly transitions to a more positive tone full of pride in where she came from, who she has become, and what she has overcome. Together, the two songs

I chose this song because it is a song that I have never heard before but also because I have so much respect and love for Beyoncé. She is such a powerful singer and I couldn’t think of anyone more talented to sing this song with power behind it.

The song "U.N.I.T.Y." by Queen Latifah, released in 1994, is a hip-hop song with a theme about the harassment, domestic violence and sexist slurs against women, black woman to be specific. Should “U.N.I.T.Y” be considered literature, specifically is it a poem? I think that every song, no matter what the genre is free verse poetry. However, this artist and song are important in the hip-hop as literature genre movement because of both the artist’s credibility and the message that she is delivering.

“I love you, please say you love me too,” she sings. “I love you / I will be your light, shining through your eyes.” Still yet, we have “Crazy in Love” by Beyonce’ and Jay-Z, hip-hop artists. “Your love’s got me looking so crazy right now,” they sing/rap. “Looking so crazy in love.” Despite the musical differences between all these artists, all three songs/genres were able to give light to the theme of love. And even though the theme may be the same, the music and words were not. So even though two songs may have a theme that is similar, themes in music add diversity.
