The Marxism theory was the fact that society was in a state of conflict in which class divisions were evident. This means that society was divided into hierarchy of classes with more power at the top (middle class) and less power at the bottom (working class) He stated that the rulling ideas of any period are ideas of the rulling class. Ideology forms the 'Superstructure' of ideologies that we think and believe in politics, science and religion. But this is dedicated by the rulling classes (Mass media). So breaking this down Marxist dominent ideology theory is basically about things that we all want that we will see in the media.
Therefore this theory links in with my critical investigation because what all these grime artist have, we the audience want. The things that we would want is basically the life that their living because of certain things they have in their videos. E.g. Sports cars and expensive jewlary. This means that the grime artist are representing the dominant ideology and the success they have, stating that for the audience to want the things they have, you just have to successful & it doesn't mean you have to be an artist. Therefore these UK grime artist represent the dominant ideology of success.
(Tinchy Stryder ft Dappy - Spaceship is a good example of marxisms dominant ideology because the things in this video is something that people at a lower class would want to have)
