Examining the Lyrics to RaeKwon Criminology

There are many instances of violence, which is depicted in the almost grandiose, in rap songs, poems and criminology RaeKwon no different. Made consists of multiple layers of lyrics, rap song is happening almost as if on stage as a discussion between two people. It opens in a conversation between two people, the only way before it enters the song itself. At the opening of the dialogue, the two arguing, and in the middle of a verbal debate, that sounds as if she is about to turn and physical violence, with the end of the time line "Do you want to go to war?" This makes it very clear that the intentions of men. They want to be aggressive and violence, regardless of the person who they think is holding them back, or taking advantage of them. There are names, which are said to help draw attention to the racial tension that may exist between the two men, who studied in more detail in other segments of the song.

In the first stanza of the song, the individual said that there seemed to be building itself, and draw attention to its ability to outmaneuver those who will attempt to seize him or stop him from succeeding in whatever what he wants to do. "Then I feel like a convict, and to begin the difficult terrain" is a line that shows especially on the nature of rights. They are adopting the mentality that they have experienced through their great years. The rest of the dialogue continues to illustrate the points of pride in his own, he finds himself in as he tries to play for any sense of responsibility or morality, which may exist in a different position had his position had been filled by someone else who was not, as "sparkin and bustin ', as narrator. Because of his abilities, he believes himself to be successful, and hardcore, to some extent.

The next part of the song is a response. Speaking to the first person, the new speaker is trying to assert that he was not only more opportunities than the first speaker, but that he had more street credibility, which is a little more important. He wants to drink from the first speaker, but it also draws attention to the fact that he was injured, and many people watched them bleed. Nowhere in his discussion of these developments, it seems to be apologetic for what he did, and indeed it seemed to react as if the people who have gone through this, deserve such treatment. Instead of listening to these lyrics and the perpetuation of this kind of violence among people who are trying to be more "hard" or "street" than anyone else, as a society of individuals, it is necessary to draw attention to what it is that supports such thoughts and desires. By understanding what it is that people are trying to achieve this through violence, perhaps we can come up with different ways to achieve the same sense of appropriateness and respect.
