Analysis Of Replay By Iyaz
Really Bad Music Makes Me Sad

How can the majority of music lovers in America find the stupidity of “Replay” by Iyaz enjoyable enough to allow it to gain popularity? No overplayed radio song has bothered me more. Not only is the music annoying, but the lyrics are childish and repetitive, and I would rather do math problems in silence than listen to it. And I hate silence. At the height of its popularity, the song was on at least three or four times an hour on most hip-hop radio stations. It starts off immediately with a overly auto-tuned Iyaz singing the chorus.Throw in some “nananana’s” which he will probably repeat a hundred thousand million times through the rest of the song. He will then proceed to “flow” one of the weakest rhymes in

    The song does not follow a conventional verse-chorus structure. The structure is introduction, section A, section B, section B1, section A1, outro. The introduction sets the breathy and excited mood in the repeated riff of the accompaniment. Features of this riff are the tritone, syncopated rhythm, jazz inspired harmony and a three note ostinato bass. Section A begins piano which then crescendos into a fast loud phrase.…

    The first verse is introduced by a piano being played softly in a staccato fashion with the major notes filling in the interval on the upbeat. After the piano plays through its first verse it is accompanied by a short drumroll only consisting of a few soft beats, yet very rapid witch introduces and acoustic guitar plating in harmony with the electric bass. On the drums the snare is playing whole notes on the rim shot, which makes for a subtle sound to save the full sound of the snare for the more lively bridge and chorus that follows, as the song has a build up or climaxing feel to it or crescendo as the dynamics become louder and more pronounced. Van Morrison’s voice comes blaring in sounding slurred and Irish. After the first verse is sung, there is another drum roll that connects the chorus. The piano is now playing upon the intervals of the signature 8th notes on the hi-hat on the upbeat, in a reggae staccato fashion, so the beat on the hi-hat and the strikes on the piano keys alternate to make a 16nth note tempo. Every full note, I hear a banjo chord played in accordance with the piano still plating the 8th notes. The acoustic guitar is playing its own solos based of the timing of the…

    Music has been known to express ideas in human emotion; music can be a release from the hectic world. But people in the 50's did not sit back and relax to the sound of "Feel It N*gga" by 50 cent. In fact, the type of songs that 50 cent sings is far from what people in the 50's used to listen to. Even though some elements of music haven't changed such as pace and sentimentality in love songs, many styles of music have evolved into more aggressive lyrics and/or very explicit and vulgar wording to fit some American cultures in the year 2006. Words like "nigger", the involvement of sexual intercourse, and the presence of violence has manifested itself into songs today, unlike the older musical generation.…

    The notion that popular music is created by the elites to control us is quite controversial. I do however concur with this notion. Today music is an industrial, mass produced, homogenized and controlled form of ertatintaiment. It seems to me that popular music is riddled with subliminal and prominent messages that are target toward the audible consumer.…

    I personally feel people have the right to express themselves freely, because it is up to everyone else whether they listen to the song or change the station. Since a young adult I am willing to expose myself to the diversities uncensored music and what it has to offer. Perhaps in the future my preferences may change, but at this moment I feel that expression is the primary source contributing to…

    Moreover, it’s difficult to grasp the root of where this ideology stems from; that ideology being the concept that it gets only gets harder to enjoy the artist’s music once he’s completely sold his soul for record-breaking sales, anthemic, pop tracks and some very, very unappealing clothing collaborations. It’s almost as if it places you on a standstill in which you find yourself asking, “Do I hate this artist?”…

    The constant reference of women as “bitches” and “hoes” can be interpreted as offensive or derogatory to women. However, showing women in a negative light appears in many music genres. The fact that it regularly occurs in hip hop is a scapegoat conservatives use to discredit hip hop music. Studies show that other music genres, such as rock music, contain more negative images of women, according to some studies. This is nothing new, just as marketing and advertising companies have used sex to increase market share and earnings, because to be blunt, sex sells.…

    For as long as mankind has walked on this earth, music has been an important part of our culture and lifestyles. Each walk of life beats to a different drum. Different cultures use music for many aspects of their lives; for religious purposes, for celebrations, for comfort, for sorrow, for relaxation, for sports, for dances, for energy, for learning, for sleeping, and for sexual experiences. Everyone uses music for something. Music connects with people and reaches them in ways that words simply cannot. Music is a representation of what feelings sound like. It expresses emotion and brings that characteristic out from within us; it tells us a story. Every generation has its’ own sound and different music styles have emerged and become extremely popular. In the 1950’s Rock n Roll came to the scene and shocked everyone. The new sexual language and sex appealing dance moves had people thinking it was the end of all innocence. Then in the 1980’s Hip Hop Rap became increasingly popular. Many people viewed this new music as stupid and disgusting. It was seen as a ghetto, spoken word, vulgar, type of music. An example of this stereotype is the views of Hip Hop/ Rap through James McBride’s perspective. In James McBride’s essay “Hip Hop Planet” he shares with us his views on hip hop/ rap music and how hard it was for him to appreciate it. Overtime people began to appreciate this new genre of music more. They started realizing that this is not just a bunch of ghetto people cursing and speaking; it has meaning. Hip Hop/ Rap is truly an artistic genre and expression of real talent. This genre of music depicts peoples’ lives, tells us a story, and expresses their emotions. Some songs can be inspirational and can move you in a way that other genre’s cannot. An example of an artist that can convey this in his music is Eminem.…

There is a variety of music genres for us to choose from like pop, rock & roll, rap, r & b, even classical. But what make us even more unique are the worst songs that we could ever love.…

    Many consider Kendrick Lamar to be above beyond the talent of an average rapper; to others he is the bane of “quality” music. These two polarizing views can be attributed to a several different reasons; a generational gap, a shift in public thought, and the political atmosphere. Putting aside generational bias, while one might relate with Kendrick Lamar for his overarching message regarding race inequality, others might call it politically charged propaganda. Not so long ago the Beatles were considered the bane of quality music- described as “the devil’s music” by many before they were famous. Nonetheless, like all music, Kendrick’s unique composition of lyrics and melody can…
