1. What is the song basically saying about how to live a good life? Paraphrase the main idea.
The song is basically saying that a good life is having cars, money , girls and being on tv.
2. What lyrics particularly speak to that perspective? Use quotes as evidence.
"So I roll through good
Y'all pop the trunk, I pop the hood, Ferrari"
I think that Kanye West is saying that he lives the good life because he has all this money and is able to to buy expensive cars. I think he says "we pop the trunk" because we are all poor compared to him so we don't have the cars that give someone a good life while he is "popping the hood" of his ferrari. (Ferrari's engines are in the back of the car.)
3. How do the video images support, re-orient, or challenge the dominant theme of the lyrics? Analyze.
The video images support what kanye west is saying because everything he says you see. They have all the words he say, when e talks about money they show money when he talks about cars they show cars.
4. What else do you notice that's interesting? Look for internal contradictions, aspects of the message that resonate with other messages from the pop culture, points that connect to your own perspective, etc. Analyze squared.
I think it is interesting how they think it is so important to them to be on tv. "I'ma get on this TV mama, I'ma
I'ma put shit down." I also think it is interest how everything said is shown in the video.

I agree with the messages you saw in the music video but i think you could have gone more in depth with your analysis. I also think it's interesting how everything he says shows up in the video. It's like he has the money to buy all of these things so he might as well flaunt it. Good job
