Nas - One Mic

The message of this song shows the life of the Black Community and how things can end in a tragedy right before the eyes of anyone even the young and there is no one there to rise up and make a difference or let there voice be heard while the life becomes more like survival for those who live in it. It also shows no matter where you go you can never run away from the violence you see but you can always find someone with a voice that can be heard. This is a deep song that can on be felt by people who know what real music is. Here is one line that shows the struggle in the black community.

-I let the shit slide for too many years, too many times
-Now I'm strapped with a couple of macs, too many nines
-If y'all niggaz really wit me get busy load up the semis
-Do more than just hold it explode the clip until you empty.

-Jesus died at age 33, there's thirty-three shots from twin glocks there's sixteen apiece, that's thirty-two
-Which means, one of my guns was holdin 17
-Twenty-seven hit your crew, six went into you.

It also shows that even after all this time Minorities are still being discriminated against after the long struggle we have been through and now even our own people turn on each other like nothing. It is a shame how your own race and turn on you with just a flick of the wrist just for money power or pride.

Pimp Juice vs. Unity

Nelly: Pimp Juice - In this song by Nelly he is trying to bring out the bad side of women on how they are nothing but Gold Diggers and want only money from the men that make it in life and who have a lot of money in there pocket. Giving up their body and looks just for the money instead of the man. Nelly expresses his feelings on how he thinks a Gold Digger is defined from all the women that be all over him just because he has money but when he didn't have it they paid no attention to him.

Queen Latifah: Unity - This is a song by Queen Latifah she is trying to show women that they are not just Bitches and Hoes and are educated women who can do anything they put their mind too. She is trying to show men that calling women Bitches and Hoes does nothing but bring them down and doesn't makes things better. She also talked about the problems that can happen when you push a woman over the edge by calling them out of their name.

How Women Are Being Treated

From what I have been shown in this class about how women are being treated in this world it shows how insecure we make women seem when they are much more than just objects. In the videos I have seen women are used as advertising all the time trying to catch the eyes of viewers with the bodies of women who are barely dressed looking lustful in every image the is shown to the viewers. They also have women with their mouths covered showing that their voice does not matter or that they can speak with their looks rather then their voice. They try to make women seem as if they only think of doing nothing but having sex with the pictures they show in their magazines and ads. From what I have seen also that they always auto fix every feature that a women has to make them look sexier more thin and smoother and nice skin making them look as if they were not good enough and truthfully no woman can look like that.

Also from between in men and women for editing in pictures women have much more things changed instead of men. Such has women have their skin smoother and hips thinner and nose being fixed as well as their eyes and much more. When it comes to men it’s just their skin and that’s almost it unless they make them look stronger or thinner depending on what the director wants. Which is why women are so down graded only looking at particular parts of women that the viewers only seem to be interested in.

Private Life

Everyne should all know about the Bad Newz Kennels Dog Fighting Scandal with Michael Vick. Before you throw anything around try to picture yourself in Michaels shoes he was simply helpinh his family taking care of his loved ones. Michael stated that he was not staying in the house where the Dog Fights were taking place. His family was living in the house he was paying for to tak care of them. Now if you had money you would not help your family and make sure they had a roof over their head. This is what he was doing he did not know what was going on in the house. I know because of the fact that the house was under his name he was apart of the conflict. Michael learned from his knowing that he can't always help his family if their not going to change.

Super Bowl

The commercials during Super Bowl XLIII was mostly susprising showing good aspects of the Nation and how Media does attraction the attention of millions with different and news ways. There was commercial that dealt with money problems some other with food and others about upcoming Movies that will be in theaters. Me personally I thought that the commericals dealing with Movies were the best because it gives you time to review that little clip and tell others what you think about it and why you think that Movie is good or why you want to see that Movie when it comes out in theaters. For example I will use the the upcoming movie Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen it was a commerical that caught the eyes to viewers who were already waiting for the next edition to the Movie itself once it got good reviews as a movie overall making the viewers who saw the commercial on edge itching for it to come out and go see it once it comes out adding on to the suspense with great clips that make you think and wonder what will happen in this movie.
