Stereotypes

1. Gangsta’s Paradise” by Coolio
2. “Mama’s Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys” originally recorded by Ed Bruce and famously covered by Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings
3. The complete video of “Bad” by Michael Jackson (directed by Martin Scorsese) (note: this version includes an extended section shot in black and white before the “song” begins)

How does this material both use stereotypes and respond/react to stereotyping? Consider the lyrics and visual presentation carefully.
