So have this first assignment for my Metro Reporting class where I have to take a song that deals with urban issues or city life, write a 1,500-word story/report on it and then create a PowerPoint presentation on it.  The problem is, I’m bad with song lyrics and themes.  So I’m looking for suggestions here.

Right now I’m looking at one of these:

• Phil Collins, It’s Another Day for You and Me in Paradise
• Dr. Dre, Nuthin’ but a “G” Thang
• Something by Rage Against the Machine
• N.W.A, Fuck the Police!

That’s all I can come up with right now, but it’s due in a month so I need to get cracking.  The PowerPoint is where it will shine though, I’m thinking full-on music video with gratuitous animations and depressing and tear-jerking photographs.

So suggestions needed audiophiles.
