He is describing a girl who is attracted to him because of his wealth, fame and her body. All this man wants is from this women is her body and her body only. He sings, smack that, all on the floor,smack that, give me some more,” he wants her booty and her body. He is looking at her body and is not judging from her personality just for the way she looks. We never heard anything about her personality or he loves her. All we hear is about her body. This goes to the opposite of God’s message. God’s messages is love everyone. In this song, Akon (singer) is looking at these women as objects instead of human beings. He is not respecting them as humans and is completing going against God’s love. It is sad how songs these are portrayed and shown to the public and mainly promoting that is ok when it is

...terial things will never last. You will forever chase after material things if you choose to be a lover of vanity. In the lyrics, “the bigger the bank, the bigger the Benz/ The better the chance to get close to his rich friends.” Trina suggests not only that females use men for everything they have, but to not have any loyalty toward anyone. Her sole purpose for associating with men is to get their money and she would even use his friends if she has to.
Objectification of women and misogyny is a common trend in song lyrics, but it is often socially accepted and further perpetuated. Finding a song in which the roles are reversed and a woman depicts a man as a sex object is incredibly difficult because when women try to break norms in the music industry, they are often criticized. In “Blah Blah Blah” by Kesha, she reverses the typical gender roles in song lyrics by objectifying men. Kesha has her own struggles within the male-dominated music industry because her producer sexually abused her and trapped her into a record deal. However, Kesha lost her court case, which illuminates gender issues within the music industry and the larger society. In 2010 when Kesha’s songs were popular, people weren’t aware of her battle with her producer. Instead, her lyrics classified her as more of a party figure and people even saw her as “trashy.” This song
In the song talks meanly about how a guy pretends to be someone who he isnt so that people get along whith him. Based upon a research about the song, its basically about how a guy takes to dinner pretndending to be a good person, in conclusion he drugs her so that he can take her to a hotel and raped her.
To really understand someone's point of view, you have to walk in their shoes. People cast blame without knowing the whole truth. Sometimes the truth is that the person blamed is as innocent as a mockingbird. In To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, Atticus Finch is used to teach us good behaviors such as, being a committed and loving father, treating everyone fairly and equally, and standing behind his beliefs.
The song is set around Chief keef being on the phone and talking to a woman, he refers to the woman on the song as a bitch, hoe, and thottie. The word thottie is derived from the word thot, which is an acronym for “that hoe over there”. The song states “You wanna Glo up, baby, Keef got you/You's a gold bottle, these hoes pink Moscato/Baby I'm the owner, you can be my castle”. This line right here compares the woman to other women by saying she is a better bottle of liquor than other women and calls her his property when he says you can be my castle. Then he goes on to say in the song “ Baby cause I like you/Only reason I text you and why I Skype you/I just wanna fuck on you, I don't wanna wife you/But you gotta brush your teeth and do what I say though/(Hello?)/Bitch can you hear me?/Keep your pussy in park, no 360... I don't wanna smell you/Cause I'ma cut/you off, quicker than I met you/I'ma swipe your name up off my schedule/And if smoke this blunt, girl, I'm gon' forget you”. The lyrics basically says the women is just there for his sexual pressure and he does not plan on making her more than that; he also tells the women that he has to be the one in control if she wants to continue this relationship; then he tells her, he will completely stop communicating/seeing her, if she does not do what he wants her to do and she can be
The song is about a one-night stand and how she is proud of it, which is not normal in our society. “Tonight you stoop to my level. I 'm your mangy little whore. Now you 're trying to find your underwear, And your socks, And then the door. And you 're trying to find a reason. Why you have to leave.” (Difranco, line 1-7) Eve is supposedly seen as a whore because she is having a one-night stand, which is true to how our generation sees things. For some reason men are allowed to go out and have sex with multiple women and it isn’t seen as a problem, but society sees women as a whore if they were to do the same. Not only does society portray it that way, we allow it too and don’t do anything about it. The song continues and Adam feels as if Eve is expecting something from him after the one-night stand because he assumes Eve is like every other girl and that is the norm. “Common Sexual Stereotypes of Women: Women are sensitive
Throughout Ludacris’s lyrics, Ludacris describes himself in a way that portrays him having more power than the woman. Many of his lyrics signify that women are only useful for sexual pleasures and entertainment, whereas males like to have control and a powerful figure; he reiterates this by saying how he is going to “own her” and “make her obey him” throughout the entire song. The woman is clearly being portrayed as a submissive to Ludacris, as the woman has no say in what she is doing while Ludacris is throwing these demands at her such as, “Better call yo ' boss, tell him that yo ' daddy 's home Take a couple days off and take it off” (Ludacris, Sex Room). The last aspect of Ludacris’s song that supports the existence of patriarchy is how Ludacris refers to his woman in a multitude of derogatory terms such as “girl”, “bitch” and “hoe” while he refers to himself as “yo daddy”. In today’s society it is becoming more rare to find songs that reflect women in a positive, respectful, and equal light, which would likely influence society’s view of gender
Beginning the song, Williams starts by getting everyone’s attention prior to the first verse, hinting at the later egotistical content and demeanor of the song. The first verse of the song, sang by Robin Thicke, is where the song begins to establish its pathos and ethos. Thicke sings about someone not being able to hear or read what he’s clearly reading, then maybe he’s “out of [his] mind” (line 12). This verse appeals to listeners, as the speaker sings about relating to feeling crazy and being misunderstood, which a lot of the audience can relate to. The lines in this verse are also the only lines in which Thicke sings about how he feels. In the following bridge, it then becomes clear that the main audience Thicke is addressing is not radio listeners, but a particular person, presumably a woman, when he says, “Ok, now he was close/ tried to domesticate you/ but you’re an animal” (lines 14-16). Here, the artist begins to damage his ethos by dissing the idea of being in a relationship and referring to a woman as an animal that must be domesticated – as if she is a dog needing to be housetrained. By analyzing these lines, listeners can
Culture Centers in Higher Education: Perspectives on Identity, Theory, and Practice is a powerful and enlightening book by Lori D. Patton. Patton is a higher education scholar who focuses on issues of race theories, African American experiences on college campuses, student development theories, campus environments, inclusion, and multicultural resources centers at higher education institutions. She has a variety of publications and was one of the first doctoral students to complete a dissertation that focused exclusively on Black culture centers entitled, “From Protest to Progress: An Examination of the Relevance, Relationships and Roles of Black Culture Centers.” In Campus Culture Centers in Higher Education Patton collaborates with many higher education scholars and faculty members to discuss various types of racial and ethnic culture centers in higher education, their overall effectiveness, relevance, and implications for improvement in relation to student retention and success. Diversity, inclusion and social justice have become prevalent issues on all college campuses, and this piece of literature gives a basic introduction for individuals unfamiliar with cultural resource centers. This book successfully highlights contributions of culture centers and suggestions for how centers can be reevaluated and structured more efficiently. For many faculty, administrators, and student affairs professionals unfamiliar with the missions and goals of culture centers, Patton’s text provides a concrete introduction and outline for the functionality of these resources and also offers recommendations and improvements for administrators managing multicultural centers.
In this music video the use of his soft tone voice, and the choice of clothing. are used to the subtly fool women into believing they “love” the them. Where as their only true intention is to have sexual intercourse with them. In reality it 's just another woman used for satisfaction, in plain English a player. It 's awkward to think that a genre with singers who have some of the most soft tone voices can be so derogatory. It 's a contradiction for sure, but I think this contradiction isn 't even a contradiction to begin with, they uses feminine strategies to attract woman, which only further proves their masculinity. Why? The soft voice easily attracts the women into falling for them, and once they have them in the palm of their hands that 's when the player mentality comes out. An article done by Kristie A. Ford speaks on how “fake masculinity can be used to achieve real masculine behavior” (Ford 13). In other words the fake masculinity which is the soft voice and the choice of clothing, are used to achieve real masculine desires which is sex. So even though Devor says that men are viewed as masculine by looking aggressive, intimidating who carry a heavy voice, R&B singers use tactics which contradict that masculinity Devor speaks of in order to achieve something regarded as much more masculine, Sexual intercourse with multiple women. Adding to this One article
The singer talks about a man who wants to be involved with her romantically. However, she is only interested in friendship and wants to do more conventionally masculine activities with the man who is romantically pursuing her. She talks about wanting to play in the dirt, getting into fights, and drinking till the early morning which actions that are typically associated with men. The lyrics of this song layout strict gender binaries as to what “bros” do. The key part of the song that addresses the contradiction of biological determinism and preforming gender arrives when the lead singer states, “I may have girly parts, but I have a boys heart”. The singer is addressing the fact that other she was born female her actions and behaviors are not determined by the gender she was assigned to because of her biological sex. This theme corresponds to the music video by which the female artists have visibly apparent underarm hair, displaying their defiance to what is expected of females by not preforming their gender and engaging in altering their secondary sex characteristics through hair
CSNY is profoundly successful in conveying their message in the song by using the right lyrics and vocals accompanied by the tune of the guitars. “Helplessly Hoping” can be interpreted in so many ways that in either way it, nonetheless, will insinuate on the same thing, which is love. As they put it love is not lying, and it will always be around. Listening to the song can put one in an emotional roller-coaster that its theme can be known beforehand. This perplexed relationship describes the essence of love, and its implications. It reflects on how love can be capricious, which gives a sense of mystery. The harmony of the group in the song makes it one of my favorites, and puts it in my top list of love songs in all times.

The impression created in verse 1 is that of a typical “boy meets girl” theme. This is motivated by the pleasant, happy music and the lyrics indicating a girl meeting a boy. As the song continues, verse 2 indicates that their initial impression was incorrect:
