Mulvey's theory.

Laura Mulvey: From what i understand, she explains there's a sexual imbalance as in men are the dominant force and how it means that they have control over females, which means that the female is passive and submit to the mans determining gaze. In which females in media or just life, have to look a certain way, in a way transforms the female into something that the men want. there sexual desire.




 - anaconda Even though Niki minaj is a serial offender of this, based on her lyrics she talks about a man who’s rich and how she made her body look how he wanted: corus is “anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hun” basically in the simplest form. I dont want you, unless you have a big butt, (anaconda means penis),0:56-1:32 With a few shots of her body being cut up but mostly of her butt, she then proceeds to give the rapper drake a lap dance as he eyes her up and down and tries to touch her, drakes look is just showing the casual mens gaze(he eyes her up and down staring at her curves.) 3:36 Theres so much poses of her in this video which can show the laura mulvey theory but il just draw your attention to the main scene 3:27-4:38 is the scene with the lap dance which shows how the men gaze works and how she has to dress accordingly to how he wants her to look and as you can see he likes it.

Schoolboy q is one of my favourite rappers but to be honest i can’t stand his music videos, i end up paying more attention to the rappers than his rapping. The song is basically him being surrounded with attractive women who dont wear a lot of clothes that he can look at as much as he wants because he has a lot of money. where do i start… From the indulging opening at 0:13 we have a slow mo of the girls as they run onto the beach, not only is this showing us what they're wearing, it's also slowing down so we have time to analyze there bodys and because of the revealing bikinis. To 0:20 were we proceed to see a slow mo of the womans butt. During the chorus he says “bruh i see girls everywhere titty ass hands in the air” which is basically saying theres girls and he's only interested in those parts of there bodys, at 1:31 theres a slow mow of the girls lover half no head just body, this pictures kind of symbolic in a sense it shows more drastically that the head isn't important is all to do with the curves. 136-139 as he leads the girl out he eyes her up from head to toe, showing thats what hes most interested in.
