Analysis of a music video (Research)

I have chosen to Analyse P.I.M.P by 50 cent ft Snoop Dogg & G-Unit.
This music video is by a Hip-Hop/Rap Artist and there are a lot of indications
to the genre of the music video.
GENRE - All the Artists are rich young black men who have a lot
of expensive jewellery and expensive clothing which is a typical occurance in modern
rap music videos. Also there are a lot of very scantily clad young women in this video and in the video they are seen almost as the rapper's accessories. The setting of the video is in a big mansion with lots of expensive cars. Modern rap/Hip-hop culture is all about having money and girls, so this video has clearly followed suit, in terms of determining the genre.

NARRATIVE - The artists in this video both narrate and participate. The narrative is in slow-motion
most of the narrative shots feature a lot of girls

MEDIA LANGUAGE - The editing goes in time with the beat and the editing in the narrative is in
slowmotion but edited fast.
