this video shows the black perspective of the black innercity. It almost gives their perspective to why they commit certain crimes or their mentality when doing certain things.
umm im really confused if hes dead.if ppl say hes dead prove it..if ppl say hes alive prove it.
lol yea mojiti is kind of difficult to use. I like the selection. It raises several questions about race. The biggest thing for me was trying o decipher the different messges the group was trying to send. Should people feel bad for the individuals in situations similar to the girl in the video? Is her socioeconomic status being presented as a hindrance or a crutch? As te song progresses, the emphasis shifts towards the latter.
This is a really good video full of racial stereotypes, mainly negative ones about Blacks. I like how the song presents the problem/situation, provides possible ways to improve the situation, and makes it a little more hopeful. You might also want to consider how the attire, attitude, and location of the singers contribute to the message being sent. Are they examples of people who have successfully escaped that lifestyle? Are they examples of how other people can help those in this type of horrible situation? Good job though!
There is so much to work with in this video! I think you really got most of it though. I wonder if you could even work in colorblind theory since this guy is oblivious to what everyone else (particularly minorities) think of him. That would be a rather interesting spin...
Good start. Now push this further. What's its tone?
What about setting?
What about "amateur" style production?
What song does it parody.
Keep going deeper with your reading.
This video is good, it's kind of antithetical to my video, which is a good thing. The ironic part is (at least in my opinion) the beat is not as catchy as the one in my song, but they lyrics are way better. They seem to acknowledge the values of my song as expose the negativity of them, especially in the one part where one of the guys says "whatever happened to the values of humanity", i.e. suggesting that they have been pushed to the wayside in favor of money and materialism.
