Pop Culture - The Good Life

1. What is the song basically saying about how to live a good life? Paraphrase the main idea.
the song is basically saying that in order to have a good life is you need to have money, be famous, and "ENJOY" your life.
2. What lyrics particularly speak to that perspective? Use quotes as evidence.
"Welcome to the Good life"
"go ahead switch that style up and if they hate then let 'em hate and watch the money pile up"
"whether you broke or rich you gotta get the biz havin moneys the everything that having it is"
"they say the best things in life are free"
"i always had a passion for flashin before i had it i close my eyes and image, the good life"
3. How do the video images support, re-orient, or challenge the dominant theme of the lyrics? Analyze.
During the quote "the best things in life are free", shows Kanye splurging with money, smiling throughout the video, meaning having the money is what is making hime truley happy.
4. What else do you notice that's interesting? Look for internal contradictions, aspects of the message that resonate with other messages from the pop culture, points that connect to your own perspective, etc?

in good life Kanye shows that you need money and lots of cars, but then he contradicts himself by saying the best things in life are free because then he throws diamonds to the floor. So in general hes saying that you need everything he has to have a good life.
