Does T-pain represent our generation's values
I would not say that T-pain represents our generation's values. Most of the songs he performs on are where he is a featured artist so I doubt he writes a lot of his lyrics. Also he frequently performs only in th chorus where he says a lot of repetitive lyrics so I doubt he puts a lot of his values into the limited time he usually performs on songs. But if I had to, I would say that T-Pain, through his songs, mostly values women since that is what his lyrics are mostly about.
"good life" by kanye west featuring T-Pain
Good Life lyrics
I think the lyrics are mostly talking about the artists dream of what a perfect life would be like.
I don't think the lyrics apply to me very much because the main reason I like the song it because of the beat and the vocals, not the message.
I actually first heard this song in an episode of entourage. Kanye west was guest starring on the episode and this song was playing during the end credits. Immediately after that I tried to figure out that name of this song. The reason I chose this song was because it was my favorite song by T-pain even though he is not the main artist and has very few lines in this song.
I don't identify with the lyrics very much but the lyrics talk about how he likes fancy things which is something most people can identify with.
I still think it is a good song, but I didn't know it had as many explicit words and themes in it until now.

Elvis Movie
The movie about elvis that we watched showed a lot about how people of that generation thought and what their values were. Many of the elder people of the time were more subdued and tried to put their values on the younger generation. Elvis Presley was very rebellious and in the way he acted inspired rebellion among the younger generation. I thought that Elvis was very important and influential in the early forming of the rock and roll genre. He bridged the gap between blacks and whites, at least in terms of music.
