    This is a badass song. Its just pure anger and badassedness. Its unforunate that Em was involved with it because people sort of forgot it was Dre and obsessed over Em's side lyrics and somewhat annoying chorus. It got really trendy and people just disregarded any meaning to it. Dre's part is awesome. It would have been an even better song if they omitted Em or just put in someone else because his purpose is only for backup and to reverberate Dre. This song is Dre basically saying how shitty mainstream rap is today and how he pioneered it and made it amazing. Yet these new rappers were coming out with their dumbass groups and gangs acting like they knew started rapping before anyone else. And he sort of just goes over his career which utterly proves he's done so much for the rap culture and he gets little or no credit from the mainstream. I love this line, "This is the millenium of Aftermath Ain't gonna be nothin after that So give me one more platinum plaque and fuck rap You can have it back" Hes saying that this is his last go at it and hes going to just show up every rapper just to show them how rap is done. Then when he owns the industry again like he had back in the day he just gives it back because he knows its nothing these days and at any given time a real rapper like him can dominate it if they want to.

    this song is a clever satire on the nefarious ways in which jealous hip-hop artists of the common era tend to neglect the presence of doctor dre as one of the tried and true driving forces responsible for the current--and seemingly utopic--state of the hip-hop scene that those same unobservant rappers take for granted. dre so provocatively reminds his fellow artists that he does in fact still have ubiquitous amounts of cheese, G's, wheels, keys, boats, snowmobiles, and skis, among other possessions. dre, phD is so boldly innovative; yet he executes his awe-inspiring poetry in such humble and simple fashion. really, really powerful stuff..............

Blank Space
Taylor Swift
This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her. "I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this. "You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially. With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media. It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame. I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships. It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.

Anti-Hero
Taylor Swift
I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.

Alma Matters
Morrissey
The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support. "Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
