Do an internet search and analyze the lyrics of a the song P.I.M.P by 50 Cent.
1) Somewhere at the top of your page, indicate the name of the song and the artist. You must include a link to the lyrics of the song within the assignment.
2) Discuss your interpretation of the song. Questions to address in your response:
Discuss the use of terms or phrases that signal the acceptance of the objectification of women, glamorize pimping, or normalize human trafficking
Discuss the power dynamics at play here
Discuss any inequality, oppression, and/or discrimination at play
Discuss if and how these problems are value-laden
For example, if they are mentioned, discuss how the terms “pimp” or “hoe” are used in the music lyrics. Is the way they are used problematic? What does the use of these words imply? Does the use of the words suggest the normalization of human trafficking? If these words aren’t used, what other term(s) or phrase(s) may be used that suggest the same thing?
3) What role do male consumers have in perpetrating popular culture through music lyrics that marginalize, victimize, and oppress women?
4) Explain the oppression and exploitation presented in the song lyrics through the lens of Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality (gender, race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status, nativity, immigration status, and others). This is your chance to show me that you’ve done the reading. The more connections you make to the text, the more points you will earn for this question. Your connections to the text should be strong, specific, and numerous.
In addition to using the textbook, you must also properly use two (2) academic sources. This means correctly citing and referencing them (know the difference). In total, you should have a minimum of three (3) sources (textbook + 2 academic articles). The Week 2 module contains resources on how to locate, cite, and reference scholarly articles.
Requirements:
Minimum of 2 academic, peer-reviewed articles (only one of these may be a “.org” or “.gov” website)
Do not use websites that appear after a quick Google search (e.g., law firm websites, news articles, opinion pieces). Your references must be academic, scholarly articles.
Include a link to the lyrics of your song of choice
A cover page is not required, but a reference list is required
Use 12-pt font size and Times New Roman font
Double-space your paper
Re-read your work carefully and edit thoroughly. Points will be removed for incorrect spelling and grammar.
Do NOT use long quotes from any of your sources. A long quote is considered anything that is a sentence or longer. Use your own words. (This does not apply to the use of song lyrics.)
