Ice Cube - Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It

Camera/Editing

The video starts with a medium long shot of a professor telling students about Compton and how it was safe before the invention of bunny rabbits, We also get close ups of the professor and panning shots of the students.Once Ice Cube gets involved we see more editing, this include shots of the city and the edits to the studio. The majority of the video is filmed in the studio and the rest is archived footage of the event of which Cube raps about.

Narrative

The narrative of the song is Cube addressing the argument that people often use as an excuse for people mistakes/actions in the world, blame it on gangsta rap.He does this sarcastically "proving" how gangsta rap is to blame."If i shoot up your college" - a reference to the Virginia Tech massacre which was obviously gangsta rap's fault..

Conventional/Unconventional

The video could be considered unconventional for the gang
