the article was able to give me and insight into the artist and i was able to find out extra information which i didn't already know. however even though this is an article featured in a music magazine, it doesn't seem to talk much about music just more about gossip and scandals with other celebrities. there is a brief paragraph about the singer and his music.
it talks about his past few years and what he has been doing . then it moves onto a Q and A it is here thats more forms of language is used.
firstly there is a large amount of 'slang' or informal language and colloquialism used
here is an example of this
''we just vibe
more''...''Nah,I'm just
playin''
i think that the reason this has been done is to relate to the target audience. probably being young people interested in him and for that reason they would be able to understand completely what it is that is being said.
this article offers personal identity as you may read it and either want to be like him or the complete opposite.
next this article gives many opinions however they are disguised as face facts because the don't include ''i think'' or ''some may say''.
i also noticed that there are many sale figures and facts in this article. the article seems be be advertising him as well as just having and interview.
