I chose this song because it relates to the genocide, the song is about the genocide, because of all the violence and the discrimination. Having hatred in their own religion just like the hutu's and tutsi's they hated each other. Many people in Rwanda grew up in poor family just like 50 cent in his movie, and didnt have much, his mother died when he was a kid because his mom was a local drug dealer and the the main dealer shot her, pretty much he had to take care of himself. The path he has chosen to support himself was the gang and dealing life... which clearly led him to trouble and near death experiences. In this time he turned to rap, he rapped about his life as a child, the trouble he went through for how many years trying to support himself, the drug dealing and crime life he has spent and how he was trying to escape it but couldn't. With the support of his girlfriend he pursues his career of music, which had its obsticles, his past life had followed him, the people he had associated his past life with, were trying to sabotage his rap career. During 50 cent preparations for his debut performance, Majestic comes to the show to plan a killing on 50, 50 cent was aware of this, so he had organize safety and had worn a bulletproof vest. Majestic was backstage with a knife, as soon as he was about to pull out the knife he got shot. 50 then walked onto the stage taking off his bulletproof vest because now he has nothing to worry about or be afraid.
I chose this movie because it relates to violence and hate between one another. It shows that even your own people can turn on you and murder you for power and money. It is ok to be violent sometimes, but at the right times i think, but not unnecessary moments. I think it relates to hotel rwanda because everyone has a bad childhood all the children, it has alot of violence so does get rich or die tryin, killing and very gruesome. The reason I thnk that the world is full of people who kills others because of their nationality, race, religious belief, and hatred.

needs a little more info but good start
ReplyDeleteSukh... this is a perfect example of what we talk about each day. You have found a song about Rwanda... that is great. You haven't listened to the lyrics or researched the claims of the song. you haven't talked about how you feel when you listen to the song, or which lines you really like or why. Really... you haven't done the assignment at all. You have done 15 minutes of work on YouTube and embedding into a blog. The most important part of every blog post is YOUR THOUGHTS about the facts/movies/songs we talk about. Needs way more.
ReplyDeleteGreat summary. Now take a guess at how 50 feels about the gun culture? Does he think it will always be there? Is is okay to be violent? Is he just happy he didn't get killed? What does he think makes people violent? Why do YOU think the world is full of people who kill others? How does your own opinion realte to what we saw in Hotel Rwanda?
