My favorite writing

My brother's doing bad on my mother's TV
She says: "You watch it too much, it's just not healthy!"
"All My Children" in the daytime, "Dallas" at night
Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight.

The bill collectors they ring my phoneAnd scare my wife when I'm not home
Got a bum education, double-digit inflationI can't take the train to the job, there's a strike at the station
Neon King Kong standin' on my back
Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacrophiliac
A mid-ranged migraine, cancered membrane
Sometimes I think I'm going insane, I swear I might hijack a plane"

Music is a form of creative writing and when done well, it can be great encouragement to those who listen.

These lyrics above are just some of the lyrics from a famous hip hop song by Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five called "The Message". 

One of the first songs that began talking about the reality of life on the streets of New York. What I love the most about these lyrics are how descriptive they are and how they give you such as great visual.  

It's as if you get a mini movie in your head of what is going in in the artist's daily life. 

It is an art of storytelling was not necessarily praised by the media at that time, but to those who loved the genre of music or lived in these sort of areas this song serve as poetry to their ears. 

It is not fancy or riddled with strong vocabulary, it is just real and down to earth expression. 

This song had tremendous impact on the art rap and helped bring it out of the disco phase it was in when Surgarhill Gang first arrived. 

The art of storytelling has always been the moniker of rap and it is why I love the genre so much. 

The willingness to lay it all out there and tell the people things that may make them uncomfortable. 

A way of expression that at the time was a pure as it gets. Not like the nonsense people try and call rap today.
