Jay-Z -history

The song I chose was Jay-Z History I chose this song because I think it’s a great song I makes you think and it uses a lot of personification . And the way Jay-Z uses this personification and have you like did he really say that. Also his metaphors will have you like he’s the greatest.
The song was made for Barrack Obama Jay-Z made the song to send out a message saying history was made on the night Obama was elected. The whole song is about victory but he uses victory as if it was a girl and he wants victory but he keeps getting her sister defeat he say’s “In search of victory she keeps eluding me if only we can be together momentarily. We can make love and make history why wont you visit me until she visits me. I’ll be stuck with a sister her name is defeat”. That’s just one example of personification another is when he talks about him and victory having a baby and they’ll name History he say’s “We’ll have a baby who stutters repeatedly we’ll name him history”.
The song is a big metaphor in it’s self for the election of and the journey that the Black community has traveled to reach this achievement.
This is why I think that Jay-Z song History is a great song to send out a message.
