Waka Flocka Flame - For My Dawgs

This video and song shows the stertypical side towards hip hop. Usually these type of videos give hip hop artist a bad name in the media. This is because videos like this include things such as:

• Gang culture

• Hatred and violence

• Baggy and branded clothing

• Tatted bodies

• Expensive cars

• Expensive jewellery

The use of these factors allow the audience to think that rappers are only into materialistic objects and voyeuristic pleasures towards women.

This mid close up image shows the rappers use of alcohol. Also the font included within the centre of the image is in a bloody red colour which expresses on the violence portrayed within the video. This image represents a conventional view of rappers as the artist is wearing a black basebal cap, black t-shirt
and also he is assumingly holding a cup of alcohol. By including such items within the picture allows the audience to believe that hip hop aartists are criminalised people. In addition to the use of the use of mid close comes in to play again by capturing the image of a man consuming a type of drug, in this case marijuana.
