Hey Folks, You know what it is! Let's jump right into some
analysis
J. Cole has been M.I.A. this month on twitter, the man must
have a lot on his plate So, I am just
going to go over one his more recent tweets (February 14....) J. Cole tweeted
"She Knows, Video .dreamvillain.net/sheknows/ YES."
He tweeted "She Knows," because it is the title of one of his
beloved songs off his latest album Born Sinner. In the tweet he embedded a
direct link to the new video exemplifying his art. A seemingly simple tweet...
it is very simple... Again in J. Cole's tweets he is relying on his music
artist ethos. His all cap YES definitely demonstrates pathos because it shows
the emotional excitement about the new release, which his fans must have felt as well (I know I did).
Jay Z posted from his life and times page "It's a Hard
Knock Life," along with putting a post to the trailer of the remake of
Annie. I don’t think Jay Z had anything to do with directing the movie, I'm
pretty sure it's just because it is a ghetto remix of the movie, plus Hard
Knock Life was the title of one of his legendary songs which included song
clips from the original Annie. The
emotional appeal/ethos found because he is reminiscing about the past. Anything
that reminds someone of a past event usually brings up strong feelings. For Jay
Z, it was the years B.B. (Before Beyoncé... funny? A little bit? Naw?)
Roc Nation Tweeted "@JColeNC kicks of the third annual
dreamville Weekend in Fayetteville this weekend. smarturl.it/JColeDW," earlier
(at least now we know why J Cole has been M.I.A.).The past tweets from Roc
Nation have just been informational. Multiple people must send tweets out for
Roc Nation because some days the tweets seem to be weak. There aren’t too many
forms of logos or pathos within this tweet. For my big 3, having ethos is
unquestionable because how famous each topic is, because obviously the news is
valid. I just thought it was appropriate to share some info about Cole.
I was quiet disappointed in each of my big three posting
wise the past few days. They could do better... None of them win the post of
the week. Smh. Get your stuff together guys.
Although this blog seems shorter and simpler than your previous works, your funny tone is still attractive. Your analysis about the music artist ethos of J.Cole is very clear and persuasive. I really like your explanation for why "having ethos is unquestionable". Good job.
ReplyDeleteThe commentary at the end of the post is especially funny. I enjoy reading your blogs each week because of your writing style. Although J Cole hasn't posted in a while, it seems that the simplicity of his posts is consistent, which gives him credibility as an artist. However, it is disappointing that none of these brands were particularly effective this week, since they usually are (some more than others).
