Analysis Of Lil Wayne's Tha Carter 2.

One way that men are represented is very powerful in this picture.He is wearing streetwear clothes like something a young man would be wearing on a hot day in and around his neighbourhood. This shows that even young black men from the more poorer areas can be succesfull in the music buisness in this decade.Where as before in the music industry these roles in the buisness were usually taken up by white men.For example in this picture the rapper Lil Wayne is shown to be very wealthy by just casually leaning against a Rolls Royce Phantom which is no everyday car. This is important because he is showing that the money hasnt changed him and he is still representing where he comes from. This makes him look like a dominant male over the people still in "The Hood".

Another message sent out by Lil Wayne by this picture is that to look the part you have to have the correct body including muscles, jewellery etc. The lighting really shows up his muscles and tattoos this suggests that to be a successful rapper you would need these attributes . For example he is showing that he's not only strong minded and by choosing a Rolls Royce this shows that he is not only taking over but he is showing that you need to be strong pyhsically too.Lil waynes several tattoos could be associated with gangs including the "Tear Drop" which in the gang world is known to mean you have mudered someone, a stereotypical reprsentation is created here because most young black guys are normally in the usa involved with gangs and violence.

The font Lil Wayne has chosen is very elegant to show a little bit of class to go along with his Rolls Royce, he chose red to stand out but still look classy its almost like a signature you would see on very wealthy mans check, rapper Lil Waynes lifestyle is very much now just like a very wealthy men and is living it up along with the big stars of the world.
