I am > I was

Posted by Sahar Williams-Stevens in English 1 · Giknis · Y Band on Wednesday, January 16, 2019 at 12:02 pm

I am > I was is a Hip Hop and R&B album. It is currently trending #1 on all U.S and U.K Billboards. The artists wanted to reflect on the broader picture of Macbeth, Macduff, and Lady Macbeth. We made parody’s from other popular artists to be able to tell the life of Macbeth well. I am > I was, comes from 21 savages most current album. This album title fits well with Macbeth conceited attitude he develops through the play. Our album mentions many motifs such as clothing, blood, hands, and revenge. Our song titles show Macbeth’s emotions and what others are thinking about him until his downfall. The lion sleeps tonight is used out of context but reveals how he is now dead. Lions are usually described as loud and powerful, that is what Macbeth is like some point in the play. We want our audience to take away the catchy lyrics that was purposely put in the songs to remember the play well.

Macbeth shall bang...
Macbeth shall bang...
This video was from one of our very talented fans! I remake of MACBETH SHALL BANG! It was a heavy metal song that got remade into Beyonce. 
Lyrics - Duff dreams

Uh

R.I.P to my boy Duncan

Classic stuff

I'm looking for Macbeth Who killed my babies

a handful of England

Sprinkle of lil’ Scott land

Man, I don't really care I'm rockin with lil Malcolm

But if he backs down when we fighting then peace

Im tryna get Siward to join us in the war

All he want to do is get is kid perform

I want to beat Macbeth up make sure its a K-O

Cut his head off I aint playing no more yo.


Somebody go and make sure Lady ok though

I heard she telling doctors that Macbeth aint do it isolo

I know Macbeth want to kill me now, then come get at me

Man maybe I should let him think we about let him free


All he ever want to do is stay lying and stuff

Man I need his people to know he turned my whole family to dust

Banquo’s son is worth a hundred milli, he better buy me some stuff

But ion know is he hitting the throne or if they ready duff

It's too late to say sorry I'm ready to whoop him

He really killed my whole family now revenge is coming for him

Man fife was my baby, I didn't want an L

But i'll be back when it's time to take Macbeth to hell

Used to mess with him now I ain't addressing him no more

Caught him plotting against Duncan I aint accepting it no more

I always knew that he was shady that's why I moved to England

How he feeling bad for Duncan?

He killed him by hand.

Dreams of killing Macbeth..

I'm not playing because Im slaying (4x)


Lyrics - Be Careful

Yeah

Be careful, be careful, be careful with me

Yeah, look

I wanna get married, be a queen stop playing

But I want this more than you really do

Gave you a plan to that kill that old man

Now we aint really bout to go out like this

I tried to show you all you need was water man

But you went out and found a sea to wash your hands

I guess its fine now we both dead wow

What really was our vows?

I cant help but think about what we been

But now I figured we are just a trend

Macduff done came for your head man

Is this the end?

Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow

What about today? You were so worried. Had your head stuck in the hay

Come on now I taught better than this

What about that old man he had so much blood down his hip-


Lyrics - Thou drip too hard

Gimme dat Duncan

I just copped the biggest gown in the castle

Cause I wanted it

Man, I took the drip, they sucked it up, I got it all now

I got a new crown, I have the throne now they bow down

Feeling these drugs, Im seeing banquo

I can't focus

That ain't your crown, you wish you had it, but I stole it

If I'm in the room, quiet down while i'm talking

The gold just came back in in all hundreds

Vibes galore, cute stuff, they all on me

I'm from Inverness where young kings run things

I know they hating on me but who got the crown now?

I can get anything I want

What you mean? I am king now

I shall drip too hard don't stand too close

You gon’ mess around and drown get off my wave

Doing all these meets, Macduff ain't been around

He don't want no smoke anywhere I go

Don't give me bad lil’ vibes, and don't be on my mind

As soon as I see it, you will get slayed

Do this all the time this ain't no surprise

Tragic hero? Man I am Macbeth!

Lyrics - Macbeth shall bang

I fought for you

The hardest, it made me unbalanced

So tell me your secrets

I just can’t stand to see you bleeding

But hell couldn’t wait for you

No, hell couldn't wait for you

Hell couldn't wait for you

No, Hell couldn't wait for you

So gooo on go home

They laughed at the darkness

So scared that you lost it

We stood in the castle

I showed you soap was all you needed

But hell couldn’t wait for you

No, hell couldn't wait for you

Hell couldn't wait for you

No, Hell couldn't wait for you

So gooo on go home

But hell couldn’t wait for you

No, hell couldn't wait for you

Hell couldn't wait for you

No, Hell couldn't wait for you

So gooo on go home

But hell couldn’t wait for you

No, hell couldn't wait for you

Hell couldn't wait for you

No, Hell couldn't wait for you

So gooo on go home

Macbeth Creative Project-The Ornament of Life-By: Nadiya Weld & Solomon Stone

Posted by Nadiya-Bhaktika Weld in English 1 · Giknis · Y Band on Wednesday, January 16, 2019 at 1:01 am

This our Album for our Macbeth creative project. My partner and I choose to make this kind of media because we thought it would be fun to make, and we already had some ideas for lyrics and song titles. It´s called the ornament of life. Which is what Lady Macbeth called the crown in the play. It includes original song lyrics, one parody, and one original song recorded. The album does not have a specific genre, it´s a bit of everything, musical like songs, pop, indie, ect. We hope you enjoy!:)

Macbeth Tarot Cards- Grace Karlen and Alonso Lai

Posted by Grace Karlen in English 1 · Giknis · Y Band on Tuesday, January 15, 2019 at 11:53 pm

Alonso and I created Macbeth themed tarot cards for our Macbeth creative project. We did this through studying the practice and concepts behind tarot, applying the meanings associated with the cards to motifs, significant ideas, plot, and characters from Macbeth. This can be seen in the original illustrations on all 78 cards, each of which show a character, scene, significant plot point, and more.

We decided to create tarot cards for a myriad of reasons. We initially thought of how tarot cards, and the idea that they can inform about a person’s future connected with Macbeth, and the themes of fate. We also found that the suits fit well with motifs in Macbeth, demonstrating core conconcepts of the book. Through reading about the meanings behind cards, we also found that many of them related to characters, relationships, and events in Macbeth. This includes a change in fortune, internal battles, ambition, intense relationships, and more. We also use the cards to expand upon our thoughts and connections to the book, such as illustrating a character’s role and beliefs through the images on the cards. We created all 78 tarot cards, with a full list of instructions that you can find here. Now, you can use these cards and ask questions so that you can be lead to your fate, just as Macbeth was! (We’re not responsible for poor decisions made due to tarot readings)

Macbeth Missing Scene: The Three Murderers

Posted by Piper McConnell in English 1 · Giknis · Y Band on Tuesday, January 15, 2019 at 10:51 pm

After the events surrounding Banquo's murder take place, the three murderers hired by Macbeth for the job are walking back from his castle. A conflict arises between the murderers concerning the escape of Fleance and who was to blame for the failed plan. 
This scene takes place while Macbeth is holding the feast at his castle after he has paid the murderers for their job. We thought it would be interesting to make a missing scene about the three murderers because we are not told much of them in the rest of the story. We wondered why it was easy for Fleance to get away and who each murderer would blame the situation on. If the murderers could have had more scenes, maybe we could get more of a glimpse into their morals and how they dealt with any guilt from their murderous actions. 
When we designed this project we tried to think of a way to create a scene that would be interesting and added more depth to the many layers in the story of Macbeth. Not only would it give you more information about what was going on outside of the castle during the feast, but would also show the audience other ways characters in the play were struggling to deal with morals and their connection with the outcome of certain events that occur in the play. 
Enjoy! -Piper, Mya, and Quaniyah

"Keeping up with the Macbeth's" Episode 5 Part 1

Posted by Amaya Lam in English 1 · Giknis · Y Band on Tuesday, January 15, 2019 at 10:51 pm

Directors, Producers, Writers: Amaya Lam and Jade Njie 
Lady Macbeth: Josie DiCapua
Doctor: Amaya Lam 
Gentlewoman: Iris Peron-Ames 
Editor: Jade Njie 

Watch the episode here !

“Keeping up with the Macbeths” is a reality show of Macbeth where two people film the happenings of Macbeth and document all the drama that occurs. We wanted it to seem like a real reality show, so when the video first starts, two people introduce themselves and give a summary of the upcoming episode and leaves the viewer wanting to continue watching. We wanted to dramatize the scene and try to make the movements and settings show the exaggerated feelings. Similar to the beginning, the outro is the same two people giving a preview to the next episode. All of these components create the reality show “Keeping up with the Macbeths” that mirrors the original play.

One main choice we decided on was to have the doctor and gentlewoman looking at Lady Macbeth from a desk in qan official way. We decided to do this because we thought that in reality shows people often talk behind people’s backs to observe them and so that Lady Macbeth could have a space to herself. It looks like a professional consultation with the doctor and gentlewoman looking at Lady Macbeth from the side. Lady Macbeth is constantly moving around the room and she is even on the ground at this point. This happens to dramatize her movements since reality shows are often dramaticized to be more interesting to the audience. Lastly, we added a "recording" filter over the video to enhance the reality show theme.

       This scene takes place in Act 2.2, right after Macbeth had just killed King Duncan. Macbeth came out with 2 bloody daggers and because he refused to go back and return them, Lady Macbeth had to go and return them herself. While inside the room, she experiences some strange and supernatural happenings.
