Their SoundCloud is full of insane projects, with multiple mixtapes and songs that have millions of plays on the website of SoundCloud. From their recent project, “The Kill Yourself Part VIII: The Fall of Idols Saga”, the song “From The Beginning of Time Until The End of Time” has lyrics that can be hard to understand and comprehend, but the song’s lyrics do share a meaning if actually listened to and read. In the song From the Beginning of Time until the End of Time, Ruby Da Cherry gives an insight of his feelings of deep suicidal thoughts and metaphors from the bible.

This type of music would bring anger or sadness to a person who deeply believes in Jesus Christ. For logos, Ruby basically questions the logic of the bible and creates a lot a symbolism that used from the book, and puts it into effect in this song.

    This dark and aggressive song, by Big Pun, promotes the idea of revenge, retribution and ruthlessness. It includes endless lines of pure violence and harsh messages written in breathtaking poetry, that is powerful enough to completely possess an individual’s attention. Big Pun is without a doubt lyrically gifted, but the morals and ethics he is advocating are troublesome for modern society. He describes murder as something he is born to do, essentially spreading the idea that he is good at it and proud. In addition to this, he raps about emotions of remorse being a negative thing, teaching people that “feeling bad” for others is not a desirable attitude.…

Coates makes good points, but as I continued to read it seems that he contradicts these point. At first glance this book seems like a father’s attempt soothe his son’s uneasiness about his position as a young black man in America, during a time when many young black men are being killed.…

    It is definitely important to remember Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ histories because it helps us understand the hardships they faced as a culture and it can further help us recognise how we can close the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people share four main world views; culture, land, place and country and relationships. The world view, relationships, is conveyed many times in each of the literary texts by relating back to certain events that Aboriginal elders faced. Three texts that clearly represent the world view relationships are,; Change the Game, by the Colli Crew; Treaty, by Yothu Yindi and Took the Children Away, by Archie Roach. The Colli Crew’s song, Change the Game, is about the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people- mostly describing the people of the past; in the text, it states that they are singing from north Queensland near the border.…

The writer, P.F Slogan, addresses both the solider and society singing about being on the ‘eve of destruction’.
