Gold Digger

Kanye West's song Gold Digger is a rap/hip-hop song about women who date men and are just in it for the money. The song has a very upbeat tempo and is meant to inspire a good and happy mood. The lyrics talk about what a gold digger looks like and how they act. He talks about signing prenuptual agreements and child support in the lyrics. The lyrics have a set chorus that basically is repeating the line, "now i aint sayin she a gold digger." The chorus has the title of the song in it, so that is how you know it is an important part of the song. Since it is a rap song, there are two elements to it. You have the chorus which is has a melody and is actually sung to the music playing. And then the second element is the rapping. The parts that surround the chorus are Kanye's way to express himself-the rap. The rap is much differnt then the chorus because it is just spoken word that is much faster and upbeat then the rest of the song. It usually rhyms and is described as really fast talking. Also since its a rap song there isn't a band involved. The music was prerecorded and was a track that Kanye recorded over, not a live band thats playing while he is singing.
