Critical Analysis

Biggie Smalls: Big Poppa

I believe this song portrays biggie smalls as being a player. It is basically saying that it is acceptable for men to just have intercourse with women if they meet them in a party. He is saying that if you want a girl be smooth and then she'll let you do what ever to her. It impacts adolescent because they see this type of behavior and think it is acceptable. In this song they call women h*&s. I don't think he should use this type of language because if he were still alive and had a daughter when she got older he wouldn't want anyone to call her that name. The word is demeaning and disgraceful to all races not just Afrikan Americans because people of other races listen to this music and think all people of color act this way. Also he talking is promoting illegal drugs, which is wrong. Young people could listen to this song and/or watch the music video and think it's okay to use drugs. This is getting young and old people into an addiction all over music. They think it's cool because their favorite rapper is doing and wind up destroying their whole life. In conclusion I think that children under a certain age shouldn't listen to gangster rap because the fake lifestyle that the gangsters live is contagious.

This is a very good analysis. Please re-read it for clarity. Also, you have to cut down on the negative song. Instead of the whole song, you only a few lines from it to make your point. Remember to bleep out the profanity.
