As referenced in the syllabus, the Soundtrack requires you to offer analysis and insights into several songs affiliated with the assignment. In completing the Soundtrack assignment, you will be responsible for listening and responding to questions and research items that are attached to each question. In your response, you may reference any of the music, films, readings, and other texts that we have engaged in class, but your response should include direct analysis of the song(s) mentioned in the question. Your responses should be a total of at least 500 words between the two questions below, though you may certainly write more if you deem it necessary.
Question 1
Please watch Lupe Fiasco’s Bitch Bad (you may do so by clicking here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3m3t_PxiUI ) and answer the following questions.
In the fall of 2012 Lupe Fiasco released the second official single from his highly anticipated, long-delayed fourth studio album Lupe’s Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1. The provocative song, Bitch Bad, and its corresponding video became a lighting rod of controversy as it grappled with the infamous word “bitch” and its impact on children. While the song met widespread acclaim, it was also maligned for its “ painfully sanctimonious tone” and for “preaching to the converted.” Do you agree with this criticism? Why or why not? How does this song seek to correct the issues Tricia Rose mentions in chapter 5 of Hip-Hop Wars? -I have attached the file for your reference
Question 2
In the fall of 2013, Lily Allen received significant criticism with the release of her provocative single Hard Out Here, along with its corresponding video (You may do so by clicking here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0CazRHB0so (Links to an external site.)
Minimize Video). Much of the criticism maligned the video as racist, and described the use of women of color as mere props rather than equal actors in the video. Do you agree with this criticism? Why or why not? What influence, if any, has hip-hop’s portrayal of women had on this video? How does this video comport with Dr. Guy-Sheftall (featured in Hip-Hop Beyond Beats and Rhymes) that hip-hop presents women as objects and men as subjects?
