Music Analysis Of Rich Chigga

Mary Anne slipped through the Jungle weaving in and out of the thick vegetation, her fellow Green Berets appearing as a shadow behind her. She was dressed in a pink sweater which was a stark contrast to her machine gun and her character. Her movements were just as graceful as before but no longer for the simple purpose of appearing feminine. Her elegance was displayed in the way she moved, deliberately and silently, her whole body poised to strike down the enemy at the soonest opportunity. Mary Anne occasionally thought back to when she first arrived in Vietnam. She had wanted to get married and live in house by a lake with a husband and three kids. She had her whole life planned out in just the way that everyone told her it should be. Three

Mary Anne is a girl who came into the story of the Song Tra Bong, when the men were talking about getting some women in the base. How “It was nothing serious. Just passing the time, playing with possibilities, and for a while they tossed the idea around…” (89). Mark Frossie took this idea and made it a reality by inviting his girlfriend over to Vietnam and getting her in the base. She is a young girl just out of high school and is a very charismatic person. “Mary Anne Bell was an attractive girl. Too wide in the shoulders, maybe but she had terrific legs, a bubbly personality, a happy smile” (90). “ The men genuinely like her” and that “… she was good for morale” (91). A girl like that you wouldn’t think of her as someone who wanted to go out and kill people. That’s why it surprises the men and possibly the reader when they find out how she is affected by the war. The reader would probably think that she would be scared after learning about the war and wanting to stay in the base. Or that she would always be that bubbly person for the soldiers in the base. You would normally think that violent actions

After this experience all of his friends and family told him that his opportunity is over, and to give up his dreams of becoming a successful rapper. He knew he has his chance and he blew it, but he never gave up. A few months later he gets another opportunity to rap in front of a crowd. He knew he had to seize the chance, and to prove everyone wrong. The song comes on, and it describes how he’s feeling before he goes on stage. He uses sentences like, “his palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. He’s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs…” He is telling himself that if he blows this, his dream is over, and that “you only get one shot so do not miss your chance to blow, because this opportunity once in a lifetime”. When he finally goes on stage, he’s feeling nervous, but he’s so ambitious to get what he wants, that he starts to rap like no one has ever heard. The crowd was astonished, and knew that his rap was the best they’ve ever listened to, which kick started his career as a rapper. The song starts out with a piano playing, and then the piano stops, and very fast music comes in, and the rap starts right away. The rapping is intense, because when you’re hungry to achieve something you have to act intense about it.

When Earl Sweatshirt’s first commercial album Doris was released in 2013, its style really threw me off. Lyrically poetic and occasionally amelodic, it refused listeners the lyrical thrills of his debut mixtape Earl, which was released three years earlier when he was 16 under LA collective Odd Future (OF). Instead, Doris came off as complex, understated, and disconnected as he tried to commit to a sound.

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.

Jazz was born in New Orleans and has been with us for more than half a century (Helm 1). Jazz has grown popular in the eyes of critics. This makes it easy for many people to have access to it and have their own views tainted by the opinion of others. Amiri Baraka, formerly known as LeRoi Jones, wrote about the negative sides to having white critics write on Jazz. This is important because in his writing Jones discussed music critics not understanding the true meaning of the song. Amiri Baraka’s theory of music critics is correct because it sheds light on how music critics have had a hand in changing Jazz.

With racial tensions around the world at a high, “Redbone” by Childish Gambino provides an important sound and lyrical combination to examine within the context of contemporary black stereotypes and millennial culture, proving it is a song worth the world’s attention. “Redbone” is a single released in late 2016 from the album “Awaken My Love!” by Donald Glover, under his rap-persona Childish Gambino. The song has gained mass popularity, debuting at 75 on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 16 as of the date of this essay (Billboard, 2017). The album is quite unique given its exploration and interpretation of traditional and modern sounds from black culture and music.

Bullying has been known to be a huge topic of discussion regarding both the bullies and the bullied. In the music video, "Popular," by Aranda Grande and Mika, the story following the song depicted the poor treatments two students received in school by their fellow classmates, and their decisions on how to take revenge upon the matters. The speakers are those two students, represented by Aranda and Mika themselves. Targeting the song to all types of people, especially high school students, and those who have fallen victims for bullying, as well as to all bullies out there, the song takes on a sarcastic, sassy and ironically cheerful tone. The purposes of the video are to not only go against bullying, but also to warn schools that their "ranking"

Rhythm and Blues (R & B) has always been my priority choice of music to listen to. “R. Kelly is talented and he is also inarguable the biggest male R & B singer since Marvin Gaye”. (Marchese) He is a musical genius who wrote “Forever” a very powerful and unforgettable wedding song that will be played during many marriage ceremonies for years to come. Forever is a nuptial song that sounds great for a bride walking out to meet her husband at the altar. R Kelly Lyrics reminds me of what my husband said the day he asked me to marry him “I will be your man you will be my lady, we'll walk hand and hand side by side, I will be the perfect groom you're the perfect bride”. (R. Kelly: Forever) This song “Forever” symbolizes our married on New Years’

California has been the home to many stars from the Kardashians to Steve Jobs. Compton was the birthplace of infamous rap and hip-hop group, N.W.A. Inspiring many other young rappers to make it “Straight Outta Compton”, other rappers such as Kendrick Lamar. In 2012, Lamar signed on with Interscope Records and Aftermath entertainment. That year Lamar’s album, “good kid, m.A.A.d city”, was released marking Lamar’s major label debut. The album was highly praised by critics and got four Grammy Award nominations. The album focuses heavily on Lamar’s hometown, Compton, as he explains how the city affected his life.

At the time of the editorial the audience Variety was attempting to appeal to was the white conservative reader. This group would be highly susceptible to concur with the article as it was presumably attacking R&B (music made by people of color for people of color)- a style of music in which was not made for them, which frightened them.

Grime music is a fusion of hip-hop and Jamaican dancehall. The origins of the genre stem from the boroughs of working-class London that are bound by racial segregation and trickle-down economics. The object of study for this paper is Skepta, an artist who has been instrumental in the creation of Grime. He campaigns against the police brutality that occurs in present day London and his lyrics have a common theme that declare fans of the loud genre, the mistreated, and the youth will not let their outcries be silenced. By analyzing the increasing popularity of the genre, I will also demonstrate how Grime spreads anti-establishment beliefs and unites oppressed youth who do not have a voice. I will place special emphasis on the ways in which these

Diamonds, the embodiment of esteem and romance. Millions of years ago, high temperatures and pressure in earth 's mantle gave birth to a dazzling gem, a gem that would be loved and adored by many people. It would be put on ornaments and crowns, become the center piece of many jewelry, become the highest symbol of esteem, and even be compared to the stars. People would spend entire paychecks, even a month 's, or a year 's worth of salary, on trying to acquire it. And in today 's world, it 's even become the norm in expressing love. For men it 's become a ritual, to invest in the biggest diamond they can afford, and put on the person they love. Looking at these norms, you have to ask, why is it that we love diamonds so much? Why is it that people spend thousands if not millions in trying to procure this shiny rock? Is it because it 's just human nature to love shiny things we can make ornaments out of? Or is there another reason for our astounding love for it, a more malicious and covert reason, one that involves a masterful marketing campaign, and human consumerism conditioning, to create a market where there isn 't one. The latter, unfortunately is more akin to reality than you would think. And for it to all make sense one would have to look at the history of the consumer demand of diamonds, and their usage throughout their long history.

Diamonds have been a symbol of love and commitment for centuries, as well as a symbol for power and wealth. They were thought to be tears of the gods by the Greeks and splinters of stars by the Romans (“History Of Diamonds”). Their rarity, strength, and unparallel beauty have resulted in a high price of up to $28,400 per carat for a high quality cut diamond (“Diamond Price per Carat”). However, though most don’t know it, the pure perfect diamonds being sold in stores are part of a very bloody process. Of 246 diamond retailers in the U.S., only 27% were able to assure they had a policy on conflict diamonds (“Conflict Diamond Statistics”). However, even more disappointing were the customers, with 83% of these retailers saying that customers
