Since Hip-Hop emerged from the South Bronx in the 1970s, it has become an international, multi-billion dollar phenomenon. It has grown to encompass more than just rap music. Hip-Hop has created a culture that incorporates ethnicity, art, politics, fashions, technology, and urban life. Hip-Hop is like Poetry only because they are both "art forms.” Music, which can be with or without lyrics tries to create an emotion, a feeling, but may not try to convey a concept. Songs, which unless acapella are a blend of music and lyrics, can be rhymed or unrhymed, and may not take any real memo other than a single word used to create a tone or mood (Smiley, 1). Poems, on the other hand, require the words alone to stir emotions, create images, make links, and a poet cannot rely on someone reading their work a certain way, or to a specific musical environment.

Aubrey Drake Graham, conceived October 24, 1986 is a Canadian performing artist and recording craftsman.

In this melody, Hughes comes back to a usual theme in his work: consistency (Poets, 1). He appreciates the dilemma of his family and gifts a weak character here that habitually decides surrendering life, however can never completely complete, intimating that he still has something to live for. By dodging on death, the speaker in "Life is Fine" uncovers an energized needing to live.

Langston Hughes and Drake both are very strong writers I feel. They are really capable of inspiring readers and listeners. They both sent powerful messages to the public through these pieces of work, stating that even through trials and tribulations, never give up. Always try harder to climb that mountain to success.
