This is a song that is personal to Will and I as we enjoyed its release in 2009 up until today and also enjoy watching the very interesting and unique music video. Here is some of the information about the sing and artist.

 Image result for day n night kid cudiThis is a quote from Kid Cudi explaining to his audiecne why he wrote the song Day n Nite. 'My uncle that I lived with passed in 2006. We were actually beefing because he forced me out the house when I didn’t have another situation set up, so I was bitter. I never apologized for it, and that kills me. That’s why I wrote ‘Day ’N’ Nite.’'
The track serves as Cudi’s justification for this “beef” with his deceased uncle, and the way he deals with the pain of their unresolved issues. The drugs help him “run,” but it’s the madness of the industry and making it that caused the problems in the first place.
The lyrics of the song will either make you relate or feel sorry for the character he is singing about in the song, Kid Cudi explains very well the feelings and actions of the character and this is due to the fact that he is singing about himself. He also states in his explanation of the song that it kills him that he never apologized to his uncle for being bitter towards him this could mean that it hangs over him to this day and repeats in his head, this could be the reason for the emphasis on the repeated words after several lines. These meaning the constant reminder of what he has said and done. 
This is a very beloved song by many people around the fan base of Kid Cudi and is widely recognized by a large population of fans of the music industry therefore meaning its an instant classic for my generation.  This song is his most popular out of all of them with 110,008,608 plays on Spotify.

Representation in music video - Sexuality

By
Representation in music videos can vary in different ways due to many factors, these could include target audience, genre and many more. This then prevents there being a set way in which different parts of society are represented in music videos. However, there is a general consensus in music videos about how sexuality is represented. In most music videos in this modern era they tend to not cover a lot of relationships other than a heterosexual sexualty due to this being the main feelings of their target audience. many music videos play upon the feelings of their audiences or show a relationship that is heterosexual breaking up or forming. this is a very popular type of show to be in a music video due to the amount of people that can relate to this. Drake plays a large part in this by having several of his music videos having this role play and storyline in it. This then allows his audience to relate to the situations that Drake puts himself and others into on his music videos. One...

Favourite music video

By
Thriller by Micheal Jackson is a favourite music video for myself and will. This is due to the iconic story line and being so ahead of its time when the video was first created. Michael Jackson's Thriller was thought to be one of the pivotal music videos that inspired other music videos to have strong narratives and actually have video content in the music video which is purely narrative and not just being a video for the music from start to finish e.g. LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem. The reason why this music video is very effective is the fact that it goes out the way to go against the codes and conventions of music videos by having the music video and narrative lasting for a very long 13 minutes instead of the average 3 minutes. This allows the music video to go outside of the codes and conventions of common music videos in this current stage in time, further interesting myself and will as the music video stand out from the rest and makes it unique.

Representations in Music Videos - Ethnicity

Representation in music videos can vary in different ways due to many factors, these could include target audience, genre and many more. This then prevents there being a set way in which different parts of society are represented in music videos. However, there is a general consensus in music videos about how ethnicity is represented. White people are represented in music videos in a number of different ways. They are shown to be the main focus and mostly the 'good guys' also they can be shown to be having a good time and not in any danger so therefore a good influence. However this can be argued to not be the case in some cases due to the rock and punk genre, some may argue this is true in the rap genre as well. Black people are commonly shown to be violent and not an overall good influences for their audience. They are seen as the more boisterous and aggressive in the music video media. For example in Bugzy Malone's track 'I Suggest' he is shown to be in pris...
