Today we will examine the intertextual and metaphoric meaning behind "rap music".
For today's lesson we will look at the line " sipping on gin and juice , laid back ,with my mind on my money and my money on my mind"
This no doubt refers to the plight of the disenfranciased african american male who while enjoying his alchoholic beverage and thinking about his money is exhibiting typical behaviour caused by his socio political situation.
His drinking problem and his financial situation is no doubt as a result of the oppresive nature of the country in the past .
The other theory is that drinking is lekker and money buys more drinks and that he is paaaartying .
the options lay before you , feel free to share your opinion
I'LL HOLLA!!!
