Wiz Kalifa and 2 chainz - We Own It.
The genre of this song is rap but does partly have some singing involved, this is a conventional genre for the intertexual reference 'Fast and Furious 6'. Which were released at the same time as the film had been released May 17 2013.
The Theme of the music video is car racing relating to it's intertexual reference, Furious 6. I know this because of the moving images of the intertexual reference are visual in the music video.
The song has many relations between the lyrics and visuals as part of the moving images of fast and furious are shown as part of the music video, showing the purpose of the music video and reference clearly.
An example of the visuals and lyrics in the song quotes 'Ride or die' as in the film Dominic Toretto payed as Vin Diesel the actor who'm quotes that line in the duration of the film of Fast and Furious 6.
The relation of the Music and visuals are very compatible with each other as the beats are in time with the visuals made very conventional for action film. The beats are fast which clearly connotes fast style, 'Fast and furious 6'.
During the music video they are many close ups of the artist, former rappers 2 Chainz and Wiz Kalifia, But during the music video they are in another setting/location, which makes it look like there no apart of it.
This music video is mainly performance based as the lyrics are based upon the performance of Furious 6 which moving images are shown, however it is also narrative based because the song is all based on the structure and plot of furious 6. Rapping and singing about the themes of loyalty, family, money, bravery and risks.
How the edits have made it look like a flash back for when the silent moving images are shown, used in a conventional manor.
