Legal Issues Of The Weeknd

In Mike Ryan’s song “Dancing All Around It”, Ryan sings from the perspective a guy who doesn’t know what direction his relationship is heading, but the decision is made for him when his girlfriend shows up at his bar. It delves deeper into the idea that no matter the effort a person puts into a relationship, it is a two-way street, and the other partner can decide the outcome. The song I have chosen seems to be an upbeat song, shown by the tempo of the music, but when one listens to the lyrics of the song, it is obvious that the song is not what it seems to be. The choice to make the song have the appearance of being an upbeat song is a conscious one; Ryan wanted to show that even when it seems as if everything will work out, that doesn’t always happen.

Has the criminal justice system always been unfair to minorities? Lauryn Hill, a famous songwriter talks about several things that opened the eyes of citizens everywhere across this nation in her album MTV Unplugged No. 2.0. In her song, “Mystery of Iniquity” she exposes the unjust court system and how everyone plays a part. The word iniquity means immoral unfair behavior. In the song Lauryn is trying to understand the meaning of the unfair behavior by the criminal justice system. She released this album in 2001, and she was not wrong for publicizing her views on this masterpiece of an album. We tend to forget that under President Clinton’s term, he enforced the 3 strikes and you're out policy, which placed more African American men in person for using crack cocaine than ever before. In the early 2000s, African Americans made up nearly 80% of a prison's population due to the federal crack cocaine laws and they also served more time in prison for drug offenses than their white counterparts. However, during this time period more than 67% (⅔) of crack cocaine users were either white or Hispanic.

In 2009 he beat his girlfriend because of a text message. His girlfriend, Rhianna, accused him of cheating on her with someone else. Brown got furious, pulled the car over, and started beating her.

The case I chose to write about is Pharrell Williams hit 2014 "Happy". The song was released in 2013 and has accumulated over 46 million views on YouTube since then and has won various awards and nominations as well as appearing in the popular animated movie Despicable Me 2. Although the case as of now has not been taken to court, the track’s rhythm sounds oddly familiar to a song written by Marvin Gaye in 1965 titled “Ain’t That Peculiar”. The family of Gaye has had previous issues with Pharrell and other popular artist plagiarizing as well. In 2013 the family sued artist Robin Thicke and Williams for their song “Blurred Lines” on the grounds of copyright infringement for sounding almost exactly like Gaye’s song “Got To Give It Up”. Early

We picked this song for many reasons. The first being that this song describes how the blacks felt as they were taking a stand for equality for all. “Ain’t gonna let injustice turn me around…” is a prime example as to how people of color wanted to prove that nothing could stand in the way of them fighting for their freedom. This song demonstrates the word state in many ways. The song is very repetitive in that it always repeats the phrase ”Ain’t gonna let ___ turn me around”. This shows how no matter what society throws at those who are fighting for their right to be equal, nothing will stop them from marching on. The song is also trying to prove a few key points. First, it’s trying to send the message that no matter how much you are put down you always have to keep fighting for what you believe in. The second message is that you should never let someone else’s opinion stop you from what you want to accomplish with your life. Keeping these two points in mind

The Weeknd is a newer artist that has an exceptionally diverse sound. So many emotions are infused with his lyrics and portrayal of the lyrics. Many people, male or female, ejoy his laidback aproach to an emotional subject, the subject of money and fame. In his songs he may talk about morally wrong subjects liek drugs and prostitutes, but his messsage is revered by those who look past the drug infused story telling to see the true meaning of his lyrics.

Mitchell Kimbrough’s “Sky” shows how life will pass one by. People oftentimes fail to make decisions or pursue dreams, but life does not wait for them nor run in reverse.
