Artist: J Cole
Song: Wet Dreamz

Narrative:

The story revolving around this song is about a young boy meeting a girl and becoming attracted to her. He lies about being a virgin and when it comes to actually having sex, it is the girl, not the boy, who admits to being a virgin. J Cole accurately portrays this story however instead of using two people he illustrates the narrative using two dogs. The male dog is J Cole's dog and the female dog belongs to J Cole's love interest. At the end, both the dogs and the couple end up in bed together. 

Visuals:

The video is shot at a slower pace to capture the attraction between the two dogs. Close ups are used on the dogs faces to show how they make each other salivate and also on their tails whilst they are wagging them to show how much enjoy each other's company.

Conventions:


This story is extremely unconventional. It is completely different to the usual rap videos. Rap genre conventions consist of sexy girls, expensive settings, bling jewellery e.g chains. Using dogs to portray the love story is unconventional in itself however using it in a rap song emphasises how unconventional it is.
