Example: Wu-Tang Forever as an archival, mythical and biblical narrative of societal pressure and self-awareness. Sounds deep right? I want you to really LISTEN, not just hear an album. Dissect its meaning, the artists history, the codes in the songs and the references the artist speaks on. Where did they grow up? Is that present on the album? What mood does the beat reflect, who did they sample, is it relevant to the meaning of the song? Does it have something to do with the artist or the producer only? Are there any lyrics that define the album? (these are example questions). What is the person or people reflecting on in the song?Where do they come from and how did that shape the sound, aesthetic, content, lyrics and vibe?What are they bringing to light? Are their visuals? Does it change the experience of the album for you?
