This is the text (if you need help).

Doctors say hip-hop can help depressed people. 'Hip-hop therapy' talks to people with emotional problems. Doctors say hip-hop speaks of getting over big difficulties in life. Hip-hop talks about being poor and unpopular. It talks about crime and drugs. These are big problems.

Hip-hop artists speak about their world. They want to be free. There is hope in the words. They want a good life with nice cars. They want to date who they want. The doctors chose five songs. One is by The Notorious BIG. He tells people they can be successful. His teachers told him he would be nothing. He is now a superstar.

Back to the hip-hop lesson.
