Gucci gang/ Anaconda Music vid analysis
Anaconda- Music Video Analysis
- BME- Representation of black minority ethnicity and also Nikki Minaj
- Long shot of the 4 women, the revealing clothing shows that BME women are heavily sexualised.
- Long shot, high angle of the 3 BME wearing minimal clothing, the setting is a jungle the message behind this could show they are wild and uncivilised, representation of a stereotypical black female body type.
- Nikki Minaj is taking on the stereotypical role BME women.
- In the video to anaconda, Nikki Minaj is taking on the typical white women housewife, however she subverts the stereotypes as she is not actually cooking and trying to be sexual and seductive, she is giving BME women the stereotype that they are sexually promiscuous.
Gucci Gang- Lil Pump
- BME youth represented
- Mise-En-Scene of the tiger could represent and emphasise his aggression and power.
- The binary opposition of the tiger walking down the corridor which could show his rebellion, as well as the excessive amount of cannabis which is way above the amount you need for getting arrested for dealing use.
- This provides the audience with the gratification of escapism as the free weed is getting given out.
- The use of jargen/closed code of language, its like no one can catch him.
- The gesture of the eye roll connotes disrespect and also the significant amount of eye make up symbolises disrespect towards to the teacher.
- There are many aspects of the video which connotes taking drugs (hallucinogenic imagery) such as his extremely bright hair and the shimmer of his purple jacket all connotes drugs.
- the gesture of Lil Pump chucking his weed bag at the teacher shows criminality and the binary opposition of criminality and hegemonic power.
