The Difference Between Old and New Music
Lets Get it on Marvin Gaye vs Juelz Santana

Marvin Gaye and Juelz Santana took the phrase “lets get it on “to reach two different audiences. Musicians often use metaphors or sayings when they are trying to get a point across. Depending on how we use them, the message we are trying to deliver can be straight forward or indirect. Sometimes a phrase can have several meanings. For instance the phrase “lets get it on “ what are we trying to say, are we challenging an opponent, accepting an opponents challenge, or could we be asking or agreeing to a sexual encounter? This statement can be used to express many forms of readiness based on how it is used. Marvin Gaye and Juelz Santana both used the phrase “lets get it on” Marvin Gaye the originator ithe early 70’s and later on in 2003 Juelz Santana took the phrase and renamed his track “Lets go.” Both songs have the same beat, baseline, hook two different genres and two different messages. “I’ve been really try in baby, tryna hold back these feelings for sooo long, and if you feel like I feel baby come on , ooooo come on , lets get it on“. Gaye Marvin. “Let’s get it on”. Lets get it on Motown, 1973. Marvin Gaye articulated lust and love in ways that presented sex as what it is for an adult, temporarily escaping the world. The song was inspired by Gayes thirst for his teenage girlfriend Janis Hunter, who later in his career became his second wife. The song centers around classical simple chord changes, the arrangements center around a slightly eccentric rhythm pattern that deepens the tracks power while covering with a contemporary veneer. In a slow melody sincerely expressing how deep his love is while the live instruments play, Gayes message to Janice is clearly stated. “There’s nothing wrong with me loving you baby no, no , and you giving yourself to me can never be wrong, if the love is true oh baby ,ooh , ooh”. “ Gaye Marvin. “Lets get it on”. Lets get it on Motown, 1973. Direct and straight to the

The party’s origins in the unions and socialists societies that meant it originally pursued an agenda centered on socialism, being more left wing on the political spectrum. However changes in the class and occupational structure of the nation since the 1960s, saw the party looking to broaden its appeal beyond this core idea. Firstly, Old Labour characterizes the party prior to the modernization programme begun by Neil Kinnock in 1983 and completed by Tony Blair.

    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.…

    Personally, I always believed anti-traditionalism in music began with genres like rock and pop music. So learning that composers in the 1900 were considered modernists was interesting. I was also surprised with the "Holy trinity" of music; I never really thought about rhythm being a modern concept.…

    Having already established the need for liberation, many of the remaining songs come in the form of suggestions by dead prez on steps to be taken towards this end. In “Mind Sex,” dead prez offers an alternative to the misogynistic view of women perpetuated in mainstream hip hop. Rather than viewing women merely as sexual objects, “Mind Sex” asserts that true beauty resides in intellectual and emotional attraction and that men should form an appreciation for women as a whole person before pursuing sex. The first verse highlights this idea, saying “See, I aint got to get in your blouse/ It’s your eye contact that be getting me aroused/…

    The connection between politics and music can sometimes be rather discreet, and a lot of songwriters today include many messages in their song lyrics which would appear subliminal until analysed. Political issues are expressed in music and I believe this is because music is one of the most effective ways to reach out to people, as not everyone watches the news or picks up a newspaper. Because popular musicians have such a large fan base and a strong influential impact on their fans, it would work effectively to openly promote and support political candidates as well as particular causes, or write their music in order to rebel against them. A great example of this is the song 'if I was president' by Wycliffe jean, this song was inspired by conspiracy theory, because it was believed that unnecessary amounts of money has been spent on the war and the president just sits back and looks at what is happening, Wycliffe believes that every time somebody comes along to try and present the truth, they'd be ‘assassinated’. He wrote this song and put himself in the president's position, believing that he himself would be assassinated the same as martin Luther King and John F Kennedy did. Wycliffe believes that the 'children' should be told the truth, and everyone should strive to be the president. In 2008, will I am produced two video's which were made in order to make America support the work of Barrack Obama. The song 'we are the ones' features people from different walks of life explaining what they would like to change about the earth. One example is 'I think it's time to change, I want a better future for my children' after each person gives an opinion. All of the people featured in the video recite Obama's name. This video and the video 'yes we can' became very popular with over 28 million views between them. ‘Will.i.am didn't set out to make history. In fact, says the Black Eyed Peas front man, he's not even…

    I was blessed with a parent who gave me the freedom of listening to any kind of music I liked. The genre of music I listened to the most was rock music. There was always a diverse sound to the music. When I reached my teen years, I found a music that had a strong sound to it; I connected with it. That sound came from heavy metal music. Heavy metal has changed and opened up many new styles or sub-genres since it came out in the late 60’s and into the 70’s. It started out in the 80’s with glam or thrash metal, then into the 90’s with alternative or nu metal, and now in the 2000’s, death or black metal was brought in.…

    First of all, the term “Old World” is to define the world where people in the Bronze Age live. This “Old World” is the continents, which is now known as Africa, Europe, and Asia. People in the Old World had no idea about any other continents outside this “Old World.” However, some Europeans who were travelling found a new continent. Amerigo Vespucci then named it as the New World, which now is known as America. It makes a little bit clear why the Old World and the New World were separated for so long. First, it is because people in the Old World had no idea if there was something else outside Europe, Asia, and Africa. Second, in the New World there were a lot of languages that make them cannot communicate to each other. This happened because there were just a few large-scale movement of trade and war, which if there were, the New World would have fewer languages that would make them able to communicate to each other. Therefore, people in the New World could not really make a trade with the Old world because they could not communicate. And third, there were also a lot of useful animals and plants in the old world, which made them could live without too much problem about what to eat on the next day. Thus, I think they did not feel they needed to find another place (did not feel they needed to leave that area and find a new area, which is New World) to find plants and animals to eat.…
