Ludacris, a famous male singer released a song featuring Mary J. Blige in 2007 called “Runaway Love.” This song speaks for itself and Ludacris does an excellent job of portraying his message about various struggles that some people are faced with in life. Runaway Love reperents the struggle of life through hip-hop and rap music.

These girls are at the ages from 9 to 11 and at a young age their goal in life is to run away from their home.

Music all over the world has been shaping generations for many years now. The rock n roll of the 70’s and 80’s, pop and hip-hop of the 90’s and early 2000’s and finally, many different popular genres of the generation we now live in.

As what she was mentioned more than once, “You made a really deep cut, and now we got a bad blood” (Taylor Swift).

Based on that, I can say that the music video complements the song in a direct way.
