Day Eight - Like the G6, like the G6

"Like the G6, like the G6. They be acting like they drunk."

Oh, the satire. The satire. It burns!



I'M SORRY, I JUST CAN'T WORK OUT THE BAND NAME

So, in your head (and an extra blog post if you so wish or one to use in your conventions post), how does this video satisfy Goodwin's requirements?

1. Does it satisfy the conventions?
2. Is there a link between the image and the lyrics?
3. Is there a link between the music and the image?
4. Any reference to 'looking' and, in particular, a voyeuristic treatment of the female body (a clue, in case you were stuck on this, would be to count how many gratuitous cleavage shots there are)
5. Close ups of the artist and any key iconography?
6. Intertetxtual references?

Excuse me, I am interested in learning about how magnets operate...

FOR THURSDAY'S LESSON.

Just what are the conventions of a hip hop video?

Yes, there will be swearing, sexual references, probably some fire arms and a potentially deeply misogynistic over tone for lots. The daily music video post is going to be on a rather disturbing world view of an Australian group (EDIT: Alburquerquian) who profess to be hip hop (EDIT: interesting sub/hybrid genre of crunkcore) but are, perhaps unintentionally, more akin to a very low rent Screamo band with a deep-seated love for autotuned pop. It is deeply wrong...
