![]() ![]() ![]() I believe that this song may fit into the subgenre ‘gangster rap’ due to the emphasis that is placed on the ‘gangster lifestyle’. This includes, marijuana, weaponry and crime. The video further emphasizes the genre as it constantly references key conventions of this genre. The use of a repeating loop which draws attention to the rapping and lyrics rather than the beat is evident that this song is in the style of old school hip hop, which focused more heavily on the lyrical aspect of music. The production style of the music is also fitting of the hip hop genre as the song uses a sample from the 1967 soul song, ‘As long as I’ve got you’ by The Charmels, which is looped to create the main piano beat of the song. This is evident by the rapping vocals which carry on throughout the song. The music video for the song ‘C.R.E.A.M’ by the Wu-Tang Clan clearly fits within the hip hop/genre. ![]()
