Bring in the Wine music comparison

Posted on February 10, 2015 by JOSHUA MENDOZA

One of the poems that really stood out to me when doing this assignment was Bring in the Wine by Li Bo. It was pretty long compared to the rest but was mainly about getting drunk from drinking wine and having a good time with friends.

The song i am connecting to this poem is Hate Being Sober by Chief Keef, 50 cent and Wiz Khalifa. Here is the YouTube version of the audio:

The vibe i got from reading the poem definitely reminded me of this song. In fact it was the first song that came to mind. Especially when i read a certain quote from the poem.

All i want is to stay dead drunk and never sober up

Basically, apart from the giveaway title, this quote from the poem sums up the message that Chief Keef wants to convey in this song which is his party lifestyle, the love for being intoxicated with drugs and alcohol.

Hey, Master Cen, Ho, Danqiu, Bring in the wine!

And here is another quote that i can easily connect to the song. In the quote Li Bo has mentioned two of his friends to bring more wine so they can drink it all. Chief Keefs verse and hooks on the song consists mainly of him detailing the drug and alcohol usage of him and his friends; Fredo, Tadoe, and Reese.

Here are some of the quotes from the song:

“Fredo a drinker, Tadoe off molly water”

“Fredo got a hangover he toting a Cobra”

“Reese rollin”

“Call up D-Money, now we throw money”

I liked this poem almost as much as i like the song due to the fact that all artists included were not afraid to show the fans or world that they like to party hard and have fun. Hope you enjoy the song.

     Hello. My name is Joshua Mendoza and as i attend Baruch college i will be majoring in Accounting. Out of the books i read in 2014 my favorite was And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. It was a really great book about mystery. I like hanging out with my family as much as i can and my hobbies include playing basketball, video games and working out.

As for the reading from Jay’s Text i actually felt that the whole text was confusing but a little repetitive. It kind of seemed that the author kept making the same statements but just rewording them.

“The field continually builds on the strength of new critical approaches and paradigm shifts, which may seem at first as though they are fragmenting the discipline when in fact they are renewing it.”

This is one of the many statements in the text that confused me. I understood the statement but did not really know what the author was referring to when talking about the field.
