Lyric Analysis

Up All Night
[Drake]
Kush rolled, glass full, I prefer the better things
Niggas with no money act like money isn't everything
I'm having a good time, they just trying to ruin it
Shout out to the fact that I'm the yougest nigga doing it
Cap on, brim bent, Denzel, everytime
She ain't trying to pop that shit for pimp okay well never mind,
I I I tried to told you, Drizzy still ain't nothing nice
Bracelet saying you should quit, cars saying fuck ya life
Okay now we outta here
Toodles to you bitches
And if you dolled up
I got the voodoo for you bitches
I'm busy getting rich, I don't want trouble
I made enough for two niggas boy stunt double
Famous like a drug that I've taken too much of
I never ever trip
Just peace happiness and love
I got money in these jeans, so they fit me kinda snug
Plus the game is in my pocket, nigga this is what I does

[Chorus - Drake]
I'm about whatever man
Fuck what they be talking about,
They opinon doesn't count,
We the only thing that matters (oooh)
So we do it how we do it
All up in your face, man, I hate to put you through it
I be up all night
Whole crews in here
Cause I don't really know who Imma lose this year (oooh)
Man I love my team
Man I love my team
I would die for these niggas (oooh)

[Nicki Minaj]
Yo, Drizzy sayin' get her Imma get her
I get the kind of money that make a broke bitch bitter
I got that kinda... wait wait fixate!
Which bitch you know made a million off a mixtape?
That was just a keep sake
Bought the president the Louis presidential briefcase
Never been a cheapskate
We got the Hawks I ain't talking about the Peach state
Man for Pete's sake scratch that, sweepstakes (hahahaha)
Fuck I look like hoe
I look like yes and you look like no
I'm a bad bitch I ain't never been a mixed breed.
I'm on a diet but I'm doing donuts in a six speed
M M M6 from a M2
I see a lot of rap bitches on a menu
But I collect 100 thou at the venue
And pop bottles with my team
Young Money till the death of me

[Chorus]

[Nicki Minaj]
I mean we can even rock them shoes if it don't got a comma on the price tag, you know
I mean, I mean but then again who looks at the price tag, you know

[Drake]
Oh yeah we in this bitch
Oww, oww, oww
Oh yeah we in this bitch
Oww, oww, oww

[Chorus repeated]

The lyrics to drake and nicki minaj's "up all night" hold some of the typical conventions of the "hiphop" genre. Throughout both artists boast about there status and position within the music industry "I got money in these jeans, so they fit me kinda snug
Plus the game is in my pocket, nigga this is what I does" and "
I get the kind of money that make a broke bitch bitter" something typically seen within the hip hop genre where rappers often rap about there wealth and power over other rappers. Both artists rap about the finer things in life such as expensive champagne and pricey shoes "I mean we can even rock them shoes if it don't got a comma on the price tag"  this again is a representation of the typical conventions of the hip hop genre specifically music videos where we see expensive clubs, alcohol, jewellery and clothing. After analyzing these lyrics i can draw links between potential things my group can have in the music video to go with the lyrics of the song. My music video can hold the typical conventions of a hip hop music video and this will link nicely to the lyrics within the song.

Questionnaire




After doing my questionnaire I have analysed the results and noticed a sequence in my results. Majority of people who done my questionnaire favored Nicki Minaj as there female rapper and Drake as there male rapper. I am pleased with the outcome of these two questions as these are the two artists on the track "up all night" that my group are producing a music video to. After analysing these results I will now ensure I construct the performers in my video in a similar way to Drake and Nicki Minaj in order to meet what my target audience (being majority17-18) want. Feedback from question 5 also told me majority of peoples latest favourite hip hop song is Drake- Worst Behaviour from this I will now go on to analyse the music video to this song which may give me some good ideas for my own music video. The answers to my 5th question were very broad I was given various names of music videos that i know wish to go on and research for ideas e.g Miley Cyrus- 23, Drake- Started From The Bottom and Beyonce- Drunk In Love. Feedback from question 6 told me my target audience like a video with a good performance element and storyline to follow and this is something I may consider with my group to implement in our own video. The last question on my questionnaire gave me many ideas for my own video jewellery such as gold chains, rings and watches.. leather was also a popular attire which tells me this may be something that is in fashion at the moment and would be good for a music video.
