The song under consideration is called “The Anthem” by well-known American rapper Pitbull. Whether we like rap music or not, we should understand that it is a very popular trend, which is widely spread among people, especially young people. And it deals not only with music, but also clothes, way of thinking, lifestyle and the way people talk. Analyzing the song “The Anthem”, let us not stop our attention on the simple meaning that lies on the surface, like what word what means.
Let us try to understand the whole meaning of the song and the audience for whom it was written. This song is a good example of how people can mix two languages in one song. The Pitbull’s song is in Spanish, but it also has some phrases, some words in English. We all know that it is not very easy to understand songs that are sung by rap singers. This song is of this type. It contains a lot of slang words, which can be understandable only for some young people, but mostly for rappers, criminals and so on. Yes, the English language is changing every day, and the language that is used in the song is not the one that was used by Shakespeare.
Analyzing the song “The Anthem”, I should mention that it is good for dancing, because it makes the body move, to cheer up. But we also shouldn’t forget about other aspects as ethical and educational, which should be also present in every song. This song seems to be written for some criminals, gangsters on their own language, but to my mind, there is no need in popularizing it among wide number of rap listeners. I think, that every famous person is responsible for what he is doing and should think of how he and what he does influence the audience.
