Hello,

The song I chose for this assignment was Rihanna-Work Ft. Drake. The reason why I thought this song was super explicit was because I mean it's in almost every video you see how all the men in this video control the women. For example Rihana is all up on Drake her ass and just Drake is just melting of her. But you see all the other men in that video having the control of women. Some ladies are just twerking while men get so turnt and they just go up to them and start dancing. Many music videos in today's world kind have the same concept going. Another music video with the same song just Rihana and Drake is super crazy. Rihana with her see through shirt boobs showing and Drake just going up to her watching while she dances it's crazy how you can the music industry trends with different aspects.
Hi Wafa,
ReplyDeleteI agree that this video is portraying the stereotypical degrading message that the men dominant the women and that women are supposed to be submissive. This video is portraying everything that we watched in the video in class. I remember when I was a teenager, and MTV was really music television and they only broadcast music videos. I remember watching the music videos and then reenacting them with my best friend at the time. Even though they were not nearly as graphic or sexual as they are now, they still weren;t sending the right message to young boys and girls (to anyone at any age, really).
I find it odd sometimes when I like a song on the radio, such as the song you mentioned in your blog post and then I see the music video and it totally changes my view of the song.
