  The Weekend- Cantfeel my face Set in a old night club. Like all R&B songs on this power point the song is about romance and love but the twist is that its all metaphorical because The Weekend is talking about drugs its not a romance between partners but its between him and drugs. The way in which the music video is set, him on fire, is kind of different to the other songs. This type of music video is is performance and a storyline. Since the song was made in 2017 the clothes are very casual. The lifestyle is very social and wealthy due to the fact that the video is set in the nightclub and its talking about drugs which implies that he has a lot of money to be spending on drugs. The singer- is male depicted as the main protagonist A lady sighing,shes depicted as a person who is finding the main protagonists performance boring A creepy looking man Is depicted as the drug dealer for the main protagonist. This type of song is something that I would play in the house or in the car because its very relaxed and its nice to listen to.

  Nelly- Dilemma ftKelly Rowland Like all R&B songs on this power point the song is about romance and love. Its set on a busy street in the 2000s. This type of music video is is performance and a storyline. The clothes very vintage and you can tell that it was created in the early 2000s due to the different fashion. There is a wealthy life style depicted in the video due to the fact that there are expensive cars used an the neighborhood which the music video is filmed looks very wealthy. Nelly and Kelly are both depicted as the main protagonists, their relationship in the video is very stereotypical because they are black couple arguing and cheating on each other yet they love each other. This is a type of song I would play around certain people because its so deep and it’s a very loving kind of song.

  Blackstreet- No diggity Thistype of music video is a performance. The music video is set in various locations and there is a lot of outfit changes through out the video but. Like Nelly- Dilemma ft Kelly Rowland you can tell that the music video was filmed during the early 2000s. Like most R&B songs its about “physical connections”. The lifestyle for this video is very social and you can also tell they are players because of the language they use and the way they act in the video. The 4 main protagonists are depicted as players due to how they behave during the music video, they have a lot of girls surrounding them and they have that player type of look to them. I would play this song in the house as well because its now a song u can dance to but you can vibe to it.

  Aretha Franklin- Respect Thissong talks about how men don’t give women as much respect as they should in relationships and this song is basically about Aretha asking her man for the respect that she deserves. This song is very old and there was a music video but it was in black and white and it was a performance. Aretha depicts a very mother-like lifestyle due to the fact that her lyrics are asking for the basic stuff that should be included in a relationship. As the main protagonist she is seen as a mother and wife figure due to how her lyrics are very mature. I would play this song in the house with my cousin cause we like like old and classic song with a good beat to it and it’s a song you can Karaoke to. This song was released in in the 1960s a time when the women's movement was starting so this song links to how women were treated as properties and they didn't’t have a say in a lot of stuff and they weren't allowed to work or if they would work they weren't getting the same amount of money as men were.
