A 50 song playlist worth 100 points (2 points for each entry – 1 point for proper format and 1 point for content). A 50 song playlist What is the format of the playlist? 1) Song title in quotation marks 2) artist(s) 3) if it is from an album put the album in italics (or underlined), if it is a single or an EP (extended play) indicate that as well 4) year of commercial release – for many albums this is clear, but if it is too hard to tell, you can put something like a two-year window (for example 92-93), 5) 2-3 sentence description of why you picked that song. This could be for various reasons, but try and give some type of explanation of why you choose that song. Here are some reasons: general lyrical theme(s), specific quoted lyric content, a production technique, specific musical event or technique form the song, how the song or album relates to the artist’s overall body of work, general rhyming techniques, a specific rhyming technique…or something else that speaks to you from that particular song – maybe it’s a new artist you haven’t heard of before, maybe it’s a frequent on your playlist already. Good Example – “Paid in Full” Erik B. and Rakim Paid in Full 1987 The track “Paid in Full” is widely regarded as one of the greatest Hip Hop tracks in history. Erik B. and Rakim single-handedly changed the style of rap and Hip Hop in the late 1980s by incorporating advanced rhyme schemes and combining samples and scratching techniques, thus, taking the art of the MC and DJ to new levels. All of these things are evident on this track which paved the way into the Golden Age era. playlist of the song: https://open.spotify.com/user/ikeminton/playlist/18th1GRuYp9Rt9Qhh0pJ3v?si=ZnU_c16cTOSOnRDowly_1w https://open.spotify.com/user/ikeminton/playlist/5obEfECa7VveHgIZhrkygt?si=_sGqV2kkQlCSG7dszZ5xMg These two links have 60 songs, please choose 50 songs for there and write 2-3 sentences review for each song.
