===Bitch/Fuck=== | ===Bitch/Fuck=== | ||
These curse words tackle specifically the explicitness of his music. The thesis is that Kanye becomes more explicit after the death of his mother which occurs after his third album Graduation. Fuck is used most in his fifth album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy while Bitch is most in his sixth album Yeezus. | These curse words tackle specifically the explicitness of his music.

===Money=== | ===Money=== | ||
Money is analyzed again to gain insight into the subject matter of the music. The usage of the word money might not necessarily mean a greater degree of explicitness but with context it could unveil narcissistic lyrics which is another way Kanye could have dealt with his mother's death. It is used the most in Late Registration followed very closely by Life of Pablo. | Money is analyzed again to gain insight into the subject matter of the music.

===God=== | ===God=== | ||
| + | God is one of the positive words that is discussed earlier on. The usage of the word God could signify a religious approach instead of a narcissistic approach that is being tested for. Higher frequency in the usage of God could mean that Kanye has turned to religion instead of become more explicit to deal with his mother's death. | ||

===Jesus=== | ===Jesus=== | ||
| + | Jesus is another positive word and it is being analyzed because of why God is being analyzed. Little is known about how religious Kanye West is and the usage of Jesus could give an insight on that as well as see if Kanye took a religious approach instead of a narcissistic approach to deal with his mother's passing. | ||

===Love=== | ===Love=== | ||
| + | Love is analyzed because it could give the greatest insight on how Kanye feels at the time. The usage of love depending on the context could show direct connection with his mother and even his current family. Love is a positive word that would help determine if Kanye became more explicit over time. | ||

===Mama=== | ===Mama=== | ||
| + | Mama of course is perhaps the most important text of all. The usage of mama helps determine if Kanye had a strong relationship with his mother at all using only his lyrics. It is known that Kanye was very close to his mother but the mention of mama in his music would further solidify that claim and bring the whole analysis together. | ||
