90's song analysis

"Gettin Jiggy Wit It" was a song written by Will Smith, co-written by Nas, that was on his album titled "Big Willie Style" released in 1998. The song was on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks ranked 68th greatest song from the 90's by VH1. Also, this song won a Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance. The song was racially looked down upon because the word "jiggy" is another term for a "jigaboo" which is a derogatory name from black people. This made the literal meaning of the title of the song "getting African-American with it."

This song has a good literary rating. The course is filled with euphony when it says, "na na na na nana" and there is another example at the beginning of the song saying "whoo." There is an example of alliteration in the song where it states, "bicka bow bow bump bump." This is alliteration because they are words that are sounds. The line "you gotta Prada bag with alotta stuff in it" that displays imagery. "Givin' up jiggy make it feel like foreplay" is an example of a simile because it is comparing two things with the word like.
