Props list

Cars The car plays a big roll in a rap song as it shows class and power, the more powerful the car is the more power you have as a rapper. In my video I will use 2 different types of cars to emphasize on a point, one car will be a cheap everyday car to show the struggle and another a bit higher class to show leaving the struggle. This idea of struggle can be shown mainly by the different props used e.g. cars in rap songs are mainly flashy so when I use a cheap car it show show the hard life the rapper had before becoming famous. In rap songs people expect expensive taste in cars and lifestyle, I will put a twist to this style to show people it wasn’t always flashy.

moneyMoney is the key aspect of all rap videos, the more money you have the higher you are as a rapper. Showing big bundles of money is popular in rap music as it shows you can afford anything, a lot of rappers throw money around in there music video like it means nothing, this is trying to prove they have so much they don’t care. A lot of rappers show there money in different ways either in assets with expensive products or just bundles of cash its self in duffle bags or just throwing it around like its paper. In my music video I will use the same concept but give it a twist by showing my artist paying for something cheap with coins to buying expensive products with large amounts of cash. This will show the status of the artist and show how much his life has changed by gaining money.

Outdoor activities In the rap industry even the props used have to be flashy and show some kind of expense in life. For my props I will be using things like shisha which Arab princes smoke to show there status in life, other props include shopping in expensive shops and buying expensive clothes but mainly all rappers wear a expensive chain around there neck as a sign of individuality and recognition. Each rapper has there own signature chain with there name on it or a simple or logo that represents them. I will also make my actor wear a chain to show his expense in life.

Work related props Work related props will be used to show my artists struggle before he became famous. I will show my artist doing choirs such as cleaning and taking out the bin, dirty cheap paid jobs that take a lot of labor to earn a living. And then I will show the fast life and how things have changed. This will make viewers feel sorry for the artist and see how much effort he has put into his work to be were he is and that things wasn’t always easy for him. I will show my artist working in a restaurant kitchen as a cleaner as it is a low paid job, this will be a good concept from being at the bottom, so people will understand how hard it was for a rapper before they got big and feel the lyrics more and also connect with rappers as they know a little more about there inside life.
