This was a fascinating project. Hip hop, as a genre of music, is something that I don't consider myself to be familiar with at all, so I expected to have a lot of difficulty coming up with lyrics that would sound even moderately authentic. However, I found that while I was writing, or thinking of writing, words and phrases would pop into my head that I recognised and knew the meaning of without having used them in my own daily speaking. I discovered that, while my ability to write hip hop lyrics may be very small, my knowledge of hip hop culture through its speech is more extensive than I had thought.
I had so much fun reading your challenge response. It was maybe one of my favorite responses I've ever received -- and I've done this assignment for 7 different classes now! It's so much fun.
