Music plays a major role in “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Popular songs act as commentary on the novel’s action, reflecting and counter-pointing it. The jazz played at Gatsby’s parties simultaneously invokes and repressed sexuality, just as Gatsby acts on and represses sexual desire for the idealized Daisy. The music of the spheres is invoked as an idealized counterpoint to the sexualized jazz. The novel’s themes - love, betrayal, loss, violent death - are also operas perennial themes.

This song connects to “Ain’t We Got Fun” because it is based around the idea of poverty. Jay-Z raps about how he was raised in poverty and therefore has been against all odds his whole life. His lyrics tell people to stay hopeful no matter there situation because if he got out and is now living the high life than anyone can.

Both songs try to send a message that most people are in poverty at one point or another, but you just have to keep working and you’ll make it to the high life where you belong.
