Describe Prince Royce

You’re fuckin’ evil I want you to recognize that I’m a proud monkey. You vandalize my perception but can’t take style from me.” Kendrick is dictating the common notion of don’t judge a book by its cover. America, in Kendrick’s mind, sees the exterior characteristics of a person as the point of determining success in one’s life. Kendrick at the same time is showing how proud he is of his own looks because he knows it doesn’t really matter how one looks it is more about being able to turn your life around no matter what anybody thinks.

The song’s overall message is to emphasize the absurdity of belief that African-American people are predisposed to a criminal way of life due to their race, or, in other words - because of their DNA. The second line of the song goes “Loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA” (Lamar), where loyalty means being loyal to the African-American community, and royalty stays for the proud of being a representative of this community. In the next lines, Kendrick states that he is predisposed to violence and evil as they are encoded in his DNA: “Realness, I just kill shit ’cause it's in my DNA; I got dark, I got evil, that rot inside my DNA” (Lamar). Once again, it is needed to understand that these words are used with double meaning. Saying so, Lamar depicts the

This song displays the traditional messages sent by male artists. What about female artists? What do their songs portray? Andsager and Roe’s findings give a good description. According to them, there are two kinds of female artists. The strong, more established female artists portray women as “fully equal.” These women are in their thirties at least, they are more established, and they dress in casual suits. They sang romance, female emancipation, and heartbreak like the rest, but they did not compromise their image in their videos. They use Trisha Yearwood as an example in her song Everybody Knows. The other type, were women who “fell into the lowest level on the consciousness scale.” They used Deana Carter’s song We Danced Anyway as an example. In this song she rolled on the beach in a wet t-shirt. Another one is Faith Hill’s song Breathe. In this song, Hill is seen rolling around in her bed sheets with no clothes on.

Her lyrics are very real to say, she talks about how people see other people. She also talks about how people don’t value others, and how did replace people real quick. She also states don’t think that you can have my love to waste, she is defending her honor in a way. She’s talking about how people are seen and how they are undervalued, but she is basically saying don’t undervalue me. She is saying that she’s not like everyone else, that she shouldn’t be seen as everyone else has been

While this song does convey a large and important message, what gives it its power is the situation our society is in right now. It is not hard to reflect on Macklemore’s song and realize all of the things he described are still very much in our world even today. People still hold physical possessions at an untouchable esteem, and practically worship brands.

She uses this song to satirize racism. Moreover, the black hip hop group Public Enemy emphasizes that all people are the same in their song. They want to show white people are not superior and black people are not inferior. They encourage people to fight the power and against

“Man in the Mirror” is about a man who believes that only by changing himself will he be able to change the world. The main focus of the song is a man’s struggle to improve himself morally after witnessing his inability to impact the lives of those in need. Michael Jackson reflects on how the world around him is suffering while he lives a life of comfort, and the guilt triggers his decision to change himself so that he can eventually help the world. . The song raises up questions such as,“What purpose does an individual serve in a community? How can we bring about positive changes to the world? How can one person make a major impact in the world? “Man in the Mirror” sends a very universal message, basically telling the world to improve themselves individually so that the whole improves as a result. The discussion will focus more on the symbolical lyrics because there is a lot of straightforward vocabulary in each verse.

The melancholy feel of this ballad was a perfect tone for the story being told. It made the listener feel somewhat concerned with the conditions of poor Black women, even if they never have before. The background singers in this song make the delivery of the poem/song much more passionate. The song in its entirety is trying to convey a message to, not only Black youth, but all young teenagers to take precautions to prevent careless acts and also to take responsibility for the acts they may commit. As 2pac starts out with “I hear Brenda’s got a baby but Brenda’s barely got a brain, a damn shame the girl can hardly spell her name… ” (2pac) he immediately jumps into the middle of the story without telling how she got pregnant from the beginning,

When Michael Jackson wrote this song he wasn’t just thinking about his fans, but he has a deeper meaning. He is trying to find the man in the mirror that he used to be, not the drug using person he was when he passed away at age 51. In this song he is talking about starting with the man in the mirror, and who do you see when you look in the mirror?

This verse compare his musical career to sex for the first time. A virgin will push to the limit to "pop her cherry" and get the physical pleasure that she so despartley wants, especially when a girl is losing her virginity, she tries to make it the best experience of her life because it will impact her for the rest of her life. He is also portraying how he is "virgin" to the kind of money a famous singer will make, so hopefully he can handle it. this is his only chance and he hopes that he will be on top and stay there.

The Black Lives Matter organization uses his song at events. On the other hand, the song “I” is about love and peace. The cover of the song has two gang members from opposite gangs holding hearts up. Kendrick is trying to promote peace and stopping gang violence. Kendrick is so popular in the eyes of the youth community that this is a really good step.

All four songs impressively display the luxurious life of fame and that money is not what life is about. Lorde’s original song “Royals” commences with a slow beat tempo with stomping and snapping incorporated. Then enters Lorde’s suave voice describing how she has never seen a diamond

The singer is shown dressed in a suit with folded hands over his chest. The suit and the position of his hands are foreshadowing the next scene, when he’s put in what appears to be a coffin. This is further represented by the emphasis on a change on his physical appearance: in the video, they change his dirty plain clothes for a suit, they comb his hair, and they apply makeup to his face. Now, it’s not only his soul that has undergone through a modification, but also his exterior. The pressure to conform to the uniformity goes beyond your essence, beyond what or who you are, it also includes how you look and how you express yourself.

. During the 1980s, the way Americans perceived homosexuality, race, and violence was challenged. In response, Prince’s eccentric and extravagant music style and attire dismantled conventional gender barriers of what it meant to be masculine and feminine in American society. Therefore, his musical creations set an example by pushing the limits of authenticity and self-expression. Prince’s fearless dedication to breaking down conventional expectations of style, music, gender norms, and conformity can be seen in his vocals, instrument choice, and lyrics. In the late 1980s, Prince was a music icon who blended funk, soul, pop, and hip-hop and presented his work in an androgyny atmosphere to advocate for racial and gender equality. His musical creations and appearance had disrupted the societal confines that fenced in the minority groups and pushed the limits of what it meant to be a black man. Prince’s distinct attire, extravagant performances, and persona helped contribute to a new music era of funk-rock and challenged the taboo concepts of the 1980’s. Prince’s musical work impacted society by encouraging wildly free and creative behavior during a time where it was not acceptable to be who you were. In this paper, I will analyze the auditory significance of two of Prince’s songs: “If I was your girlfriend” (1987) and “I Would Die 4 U” (1984). Analysis for both songs were based on music videos and a scene from Prince’s film, Purple Rain. In addition to these songs, Prince’s

The general idea of the song is you can make the world a better place for those who still can enjoy it if you just be kind and help others, or to sum it up peace. For example in the song it says “... There are people dying If you care enough for the living Make a better place for you and for me” this to me means that their are
