belong in this world.” Legacy By Eminem I like this song, and most of Eminem’s music is because it’s always very personal. Even though he is graphic, he is open and expressive in his music; He talks about his family, his daughter, and what's going on in his own life and mind. He raps about his struggles unlike most rappers who talk about their relationships/money/ and their fights with other rappers so I have a ton of respect for him. This song Legacy tells the story of him when he was a young boy

Hip hop is probably the youngest genre of music and has yet been so impactful in its short amount of time. But is it reasonable to place the blame on this popular

power. Within those examples we see people in the position of power, using this power of language to degrade their enemies and those they consider beneath them, and shape language in their favor. Music ties into language completely. The words of song lyrics convey powerful messages. As language is power, those in control seek to repress the power of this language in music, attempting to keep the power in their favor. But this attempt at censorship only gives those words even more influence and

The song I chose for the “perfect marriage of music, lyric, and performance” mold is Crossroads by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. This is honestly one of my favorite songs of all time. All of the elements of the song just seem to flow together and seem right for each other. The song's beat is a slow and deep beat. It gives you the feeling of floating away. It plays in with the lyrics and delivery of the message perfectly. I would say this song really is “music to my ears”. The lyrics of this song are hands

again, by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth is a song that appeared in Furious 7 as a tribute to Paul Walker. The lyrics are the main focus, but is heavily assisted by the music. See You Again emits a very emotional aura. The song begins with a repeating piano line that sets the emotional mood for the song. The voice of Charlie follows with the main focus being on the lyrics and the melody. Charlie’s voice really adds the emotional impact in this song as his high notes are filled with such delicate

of my favorite bands called Foster The People made a phenomenal song called Pumped up Kicks and but was saddened to know that the band were not granted the same respect as the song was banned from ever being on MTV. It’s ridiculous because other explicit artists that talk about sex, drugs, lust, envy, and greed but some other artists have to be censored in order to make an industry feel safe. The story to the song was that the song wasn’t made to be a big hit intentionally, Mark Foster (The Singer)
