spelling bad i went on a rant

Annalise on pop culture.


Well the one I'm analysing is the good life by Kanya west the first thing I thought was people watch this shit. OK before I start I will give an introduction rant.

OK I counted how many times this man said I or me it was 44. 44 TIMES this guy said in a 3 min and 50 second song. Now when some one is listening to this what are they singing in there head Kanya got a car no there saying I got the car how the song really is. So first thing is that when you just listen to it you are now the main charter bragging about what you have even though you may or may not have any of that crap. So what happens a fantasy is made about you getting head on a plane and having lots of crap.so what does this do it changes how one views the world. Instead of the world being the biggest thing it then becomes that “ I “ is the biggest thing that a person is not worried about how this will benefit the world or some thing it is now how will it benefit me. Really music like this and my lip gloss feed on the human desire and lack of control so now people want to be the center of there lives they want to be I in the songs like this want thing's now to be about them. Little them . Why couldn't there be more meaningful more significant music that caught peoples attention why is it all this bubble gum crap stuff that just leaves you like wanting. Humans are better than this to let things like this brain wash people. It is not like by listening to it your a sheep just over and over it inspires you to be a backwards person. But this brings another question are people inherently self absorbed do we only care for our selves. On the day to biases no unless it is a life and death situation some can argue but what about people giving there lives to save others in life and death situations there not self absorbed. For example a gallion had been attacked by pirates and only 3 mongered to escape. Left maroon in the ocean was one crew man the captain and the nephew of the captain. They were floating in the heated sun for days. Thirsty and starved The nephew started drinking the sea water. He just couldn't take it and was doing the thing not to do which was not to drink the sea water it makes you more thirsty because of the salt in it and he was soon delouse and the others knew the end was soon for him. They say ( THE captain during his trail) that the nephew pale and sickly was going to die and he picked up the knife and held it to his neck and said eat me or some thing like that I don't remember it was on the history channel so any way the crew men and captain held the knife and stabbed him in the neck. They then proceed to eat him. As they reached shore days later they had blood all over them. People disgusted with the what they done they were put in court. They gave the story and pleaded guilty they had short sentences because of the circumstances. But I wanted to show with this story that not every one is evil or good this things are more complied then that it is control over one self that makes us “good” or “evil” and lack of control just makes us stupid.so this song promotes lack of control with the I WANT THING going on in this song.



OK I had to get that out here is my paper


this song is saying the only way to live a good life is money, being rich, have loads of crap. Never any thing that will make one happy for a long time it is all just things that will last for a short time then you spit it out and get another one every thing is short little “fun” things. Just it is a bad way at looking at life and the world we live in. also I mean what is this sending for people to be happy drink get cars and like big asses that's what the song say it is to have a good life. Be rich be a pig for example “and watch the money pile up, the good life” he says this while stacks of money come down. Another image in the video was when he said shit the best things in life are free at the same time he is sprinkling diamonds so that is meant to be a gag like sarcastic comment the over laying is that you need to have money and spend it one real crap. So how can you have money if you spend it always on real crap that a contradiction.the other themes are ME and I I thought I was bad as I said before. Just feeding in the worst part of us.

baby we gotta work on your spelling and grammar.. will andy give you a chance to sit down with me and work on it a little more before he reads it?

it's excellent work but it's a little difficult to understand at times.

love you very much <3

Ian, i agree with you because this song repeats several times "welcome to the good life" and and other things about spending money, but he makes the comment of "good things in life come FREE" that maybe true but the things he expresses in this video will all know are not free.
