I would say that 50 cent appeals to gangsters and young urban teenagers, whereas Ms. Dynamite appeals to women and Girls.

She was taught by her mother to work for a better life and to respect herself, they are still very close to each other. Ms. Dynamite and 50 cent both have different backgrounds and were raised very differently. The songs I will be studying are 50 cent's 'P.I.M.P' and Ms. Dynamite's 'It takes more'. I am studying these songs because they are both very different and both have different influences on the youth today. These songs are significant because by using them I can show how different music affects kids these days. 50 cents 'P.I.M.P' is about how he is a pimp and he does what he wants and treats people how he wants.

In the beginning of 50 cents video you see 50 cent and he starts rapping, with other pimps around him. He looks clean while the other pimps are greasy and horrible, which could imply that he is different to them.
