Iconography

The song by Kendrick Lamar called 'Humble' fits the iconography and ideology of the Rap genre of songs such as the visuals represent the Rap/grime stereotypes such as the use of lots of money and wealth denoted at the beginning and the shot of the heads on fire you see denoted in the background lots of gangsters wearing black clothing with chain necklaces and later on denoted throughout you see more Black people stereo typically denoted with shades in low riders as gangsters listening to rap music.


The sound and style of the music perfectly fits the gangster vibe but with a slight twist as it has like a party vibe aswell to it making it a hybrid which goes against the typical ideology of the gangsters being very aggressive and being very serious, the visuals at points also support this which creates a link which all relates back to Goodwin's music rules.Such as when all the gangsters are dancing and parting and enjoying themselves which goes against the ideologies.

How will I use this in my music video?

For my music video we plan to make it very sad and depressing and upbeat, having two contrasting themes as It would denote the dark harsh nature of relationships and the friendly and happiness of a relationship.
