NWA “Express Yourself” analyze

Paper should include some basic factual research on the song/artist, a listening-based analysis of the song and some critical analysis of the song which draws on the assigned texts for the class. Work outwards from the specifics of the song to discuss issues that you find compelling about the artist, producer, the performance, the lyrics, the beat (original or sampled) and the social context. This is an analytical paper, which must explore a number of different aspects of the song, so please pay close attention to the highly detailed information. Song lyric presentation format (separating song lyric lines with slashes) is the most optimal way. -Briefly introduce quotations or lyrics prior to presenting them. -Citation – indent second line of each source for MLA works cited. – For MLA, in text citations should reflect the following format: “Pancakes taste awesome” (Konick 420). Stay focused and don’t start incorporating info that doesn’t relate to your chosen song. Excessive grammar issues will cause a point reduction.
