The song I picked as my example of waste authority is the song "IV. Sweatpants" by Childish Gambino.  This song has several layers to it and there is a lot going on, it is hard to become uninterested in this song.  There is a constant beat but there is some background noise while he is rapping.  The background is not so quite that you can't hear it, but it is not too loud to where you can't hear Gambino rap. There also is a part in the song in which the background noise stops and its just Gambino, then it goes back to the normal background music. There are several moving parts and one part where it all stops. There are a lot of things to focus on and it takes a few listens to catch the whole song. Childish Gambino definitely shows his authority over the piece and grabs the listner's attention.

Wasteful authority is when there is a voice within a voice. The inner voice being the aim and the outer voice is the action.  It is easier for me to think of it the way Ratliff put it, like text and subtext.  These several layers of voice require lots of attention, focus, and balance.  The listener has to try and balance all the voices and this requires the listnner to listen to the song multiple times and listen to each layer seperately.  Ratliff goes into detail the risk and skill that it takes for the artist to create music using this technique., describing it as having a musical authority.  I agree with this description, as the person with authority controls what is put in the song and what they want to broadcast to their listner's. the way Ratliff described wasteful authority has made it an understandable concept for me to grasp. I picked the song "Mrs.Officer" by Lil Wayne from Ratliff's playlist because he purposely left some words unfished to be interpreted by the listner. He also has several backgroud noises alluding to the sound of sirens throughout the song.
