So many that partake in this way of music are natural poets that can express themselves in ways the "great ones" could only dream of in their day.
As writers in American society we have many influences that can take our storytelling to the next level.
Hip Hop is one of them.
When you listen to the lyrics of Jay Z, Sean XLG Mitchell, Tupac, and the Notorious BIG; you hear hurt, pain, happiness, saddness, and love all in the same line.
We as writers can take those words and turn them into an amazing story that brings all of those things to life in more ways than one.
The influence from this music genre on writers is great! It teaches us (contray to it's critics) that we all feel, and see some of the same things. It gives us enthusiam and true grit that we can put in a story without feeling ashamed.
Today; listen and take a writing que from hip hop music. It's music, and poetry brought to life by amazing people who has lived and are still are living in American Lit!
