    In 2013, the self-titled visual album BEYONCÉ sold almost eight hundred thirty thousand digitally in the first three days, while her sixth number one and second visual album, Lemonade, only sold four hundred ninety thousand digitally in the first week. Although Beyoncé’s second visual album wasn’t numerically successful, both show a vulnerable, an artistic, and a controversial side of Beyoncé. Both albums have surprising visuals and stunning lyrical content with either an obvious meaning or a meaning we have yet to figure out, such as the famous line, “You better call Becky with the good hair.” (Beyoncé, “Sorry”). BEYONCÉ and Lemonade show that Beyoncé tries to better herself as an artist and make herself more vulnerable.

  • Analysis Of Erykah Badu's Song Booty

    663 Words  | 2 Pages

    Erykah Badu talks about what another woman has versus what she has and how her man still wants Erykah, in her song “Booty.” In the first verse she says, “your booty might be bigger, but I still can pull your nigga.” This brings up a good point, often in hip hop and the culture surrounding it, a girl with a big booty is more desireable. Slim figured, Erykah Badu is contradicting that by saying she can still get the other girl’s man. This song is interesting because throughout the versus Erykah is basically ridiculing the other woman and showing while she is better, showcasing the expected competition between women for a man’s attention. Than in the refrain Erykah is explaining why she does not want a man that is already involved with someone, it is likely that he would do it to her to, she is also warning the other woman and urging her

  • Analysis Of J. Cole's 'Love Yourz'

    1212 Words  | 3 Pages

    Rap music has given me personally something to look up to. Not a role model but hope of continuing my dreams because rappers successfully made it. “For what’s money without happiness, or hard times without the people you love” is from a song called “Love Yourz” by J. Cole. He clearly understands how there is “beauty in the struggle and ugliness in the success” because he’s lived that life. Other songs such as “2Face” or “The Autograph” were instantly relatable to me because he has been through several struggles from the beginning of his childhood. Cole’s father left when he was six leaving his mother and younger brother alone. Cole became “the man of the house” but becoming a rapper is not as easy as it seems. Cole’s messages in these two songs are relative because I too, have had several issues with my mother and father creating a sense of lonesome. Hearing music like Coles helped me overcome my
