Cutting to the Beat - P Money MY Lingo



These are the lyrics to the song from around 40 seconds where the dialogue starts and for the prelim we will be doing 1 minute of the song so it will end around 1.40.

/ = change in shot

Real talk, that's my lingo
Real talk, that's my lingo/ Shot of P Money (P)
If you can't talk like this, bro/ Shot of squad (S)
Then I ain't really hearing shit, bro/ Different angle of P Money (P)
See, there's a lot of man out there with this knowledge
But they ain't educating like this, bro
But they'll tell 'em 'bout whips /Long take of P Money

and tricks, though Close up of stairs (C)
Nothing else going on, is that it,/ Close up of CCTV camera (C) bro?

Real talk, that's my lingo/ Close up of shop name (C)
Real talk, that's my lingo/

If you can't talk like this, bro/                                         
Then I ain't really hearing shit, bro

See, there's a lot of man out there/ Shot of P Money (P) with this knowledge
But they ain't educating like this, bro
But they'll tell 'em 'bout whips and tricks,/ though
Nothing else going on, is that it,/ bro?

 [Verse 1]
I was chatting to a yute, having a verbal spar/ Shot of squad (S)
He said P, I rate you, you've really gone far Shot of yute (Y)
I wanna/ go far too
This year, I'm going hard,/ Close up of youe's hand (C)I want a hundred large/
I said a hundred large? Shot of P Money (P) / What you splashing that on?
Man /said a car
Brudda, where's your drive?/ shot of squad (S)Brudda, where's your yard? Shot of P Money (P)
F that car/ Shot of P Money (P)
You're acting like you're a boss/ Close up of yute's jeans (C)
But you ain't in charge/
Wining, dining, all these girls you don't know
And you can't even dance/ Shot of yute (Y)
You're dumb, you spent your money in the/ brass
Brudda, where's your mum? Brudda, where's your aunt?
Wait, stop this deck
Brudda, where's your besties? Where's your dargs?
You find that interesting,/ Long Take of P Money (P) I find it depressing
Excuse my aggression,/ but you blame the oppression
Bro,/ that ain't oppression, you know what that is?/
You and your dickhead bredrins,/ gassed up on a next ting
None of you's real, your mind's based off a film/
Where you're just acting real, trust me/

  

Key

P for P Money
L for long shots of buildings
S for Squad
C for Close up of stairs, shop name, CCTV
Y for yute (Younger Rapper)

The music throughout the video is non-diegetic sound, but P Money's lips are in sync with it so it appears that he is actually singing the song. The music is a sound bridge because it is played across each different scene.

This is a low angled close up of P Money which shows the top part of his body whilst he is rapping in an urban area with tall flats. The camera is looking up at him so he looks powerful. He is wearing a hoodie, T-shirt and snapback which implies that he is from a rough area or that he is from a lower class family.


This is a mid shot of P Money and his friends, they look threatening to other people which illustrates power. The shot places P Money closer to the camera than the others, which connotes his authority in the group.






This is a close up of some CCTV cameras which could imply that there is violence and crime in the area which suggests the status of the area and of P Money and his friends.








This is a worms eye shot of the stairs going up a block of flats. This establishing shot clearly shows that they live in built up urban area.





This is a low angle shot of a run down corner shop which has the windows boarded up. This implies that it has been smashed up and vandalised which suggests that the area is rough and violent.








This is a over the shoulder, close up of a yute, which is slang for youth, and he is talking to P Money about his future and what he wants to do with it. The yute is wearing a tracksuit which illustrates that he is a bit 'chavy' or rough. It could also suggest that he is poor, as tracksuits can be cheap to buy.
