&
Kanye West- Gold Digger
Sam Turner & Connor Simmons
Green Day entertain millions of
loyal fans.
Kanye West crushes the
dreams of a teenage girl.

2. Jesus of Suburbia
• Jesus of suburbia is a 5 part ‘ropra’ (rock
opera) written by Green Day. The song itself is
over nine minutes long and the video tells the
tale of ‘Saint Jimmy’, a character often
referred to in Green Day’s work, and his
escape from ‘Jingletown USA.

3. Gold Digger
• Gold Digger was the first single released by
Kanye west in the UK. Kanye uses samples
from the legendary Ray Charles and shifts the
words to create a vocal hook. Often known as
Kanye’s signature song Gold Digger is about a
woman known for dating wealthy men in an
attempt to gain their riches.

4. Critical analysis
• The both videos take entirely misogynistic views of women, being
portrayed as inferior, sexual objects or outright nuisances.
• The portrayal of men is different in each video. The protagonist
‘Saint Jimmy’ is the desperate, useless sort, while Kanye portrays
himself as a figure of aspiration that attracts women, most likely
because that’s what he thinks of himself.
• The general tone of each song is matched in their respective videos,
this helps appeal to target audiences (Teenagers, punks etc.) and is
befitting of the gender portrayals.
