FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: After having known Edward for just a few short months, Bella admits that “it would cause [her] physical pain to be separated from him now" (Meyer 283).

Hip hop was used just more than music but "a platform to speak our minds."

To most of these hip hop artists "music is sometimes a medication from reality."

For these Hip hop artists "it's about you and me, connecting one to one."

From a perspective, Hip Hop "created a lot of jobs that otherwise wouldn't exist."

In the early ages of Hip-Hop, some of the artists "spoke about issues in the world" which wasn't widely written about in music.
