Music Video Analysis

Snoop Dog - Sensual Seduction Snoop Dog’s video, Sensual Seduction’s narrative is to draw upon the lyrics of Snoop being somewhat of a pimp, a sex God, which is evident through many different scenes involving women, perhaps degrading them The Men in the video, or rather Snoop as he is the on one (perhaps highlighting the idea that he is centre of attention) is serenaded by women throughout the video of whom are scantily dressed, perhaps connoting that he is king and there are his slaves. Snoop is adhering to an R’n’B stereotype of wearing bling, expensive looking 80s shades and a white, studded, seemingly pimp suit. Snoop has a variety of different appearances, most notably where he appears as Huggie Bear, of which Snoop starred as in the …. Film “Starsky and Hutch”. This factor could have been inserted as a way of promoting the film, gaining Snoop to have further publicity Gender stereotypes seemed to be conformed to, especially by Snoop himself, as well as the women and definitely fit into the genre. It has been famously criticised that women have been victims of male chauvinists, which snoop seems to have taken the role of. The women, some quite obviously dressed to seem as though they are prostitutes may be glamorising this kind of taboo job, leading audiences, worryingly young women, that this type of industry is a pathway to success and so will aspire to do such a thing. A certain shot, halfway through the of a more powerful, in control and dominant women may lead audiences to assume otherwise. Supporting a fierce facial expression, dressed in a leather-heroine-cape outfit, she may be seen to taking control of the situation, and appear as if she wants to be there, meeting her own sexual needs as a dominatrix and is the object of snoop’s desires, making him weak. However, other audiences could suggest that this woman is just like any other woman in the video, fulfilling the audiences sexual fantasies, and fetishes, and her ridiculously high heels could be a product for sadomasochists.
