One

legacy

In the city streets where dreams are born,

Where rhythm and poetry gracefully adorn,

There lies a culture that's vibrant and alive,

A genre that allows voices to truly thrive.

Hip hop, the beat that pulses through the soul,

An art form that has the power to console,

It speaks of struggles, triumphs, and dreams,

A language that unites, no matter the themes.

From the Bronx to Compton, it found its voice,

A revolution, a movement, a powerful choice,

With breakdancing and graffiti, it took flight,

A culture that broke boundaries, shining bright.

The DJ's hands skillfully spin the vinyl,

Creating melodies that make hearts smile,

The MC's words, sharp and filled with fire,

Painting pictures that the world can admire.

From Tupac's wisdom to Biggie's flow,

To Lauryn Hill's soulful voice that glows,

From Jay-Z's hustle to Nas' lyrical finesse,

Hip hop artists continue to impress.

The beats, the rhymes, the stories they tell,

Hip hop music casts a powerful spell,

It transcends boundaries, it breaks down walls,

Speaking truth to power, standing tall.

So let us celebrate this culture so grand,

The movement that continues to expand,

Hip hop, the art form that will never fade,

Forever in our hearts, its legacy is made.

Two

ignites the fire

In the realm of rhythm and rhyme,

Where words intertwine, sublime,

There's a genre that sets the stage,

Where soul and beats engage.

Hip Hop, the heartbeat of the streets,

Where poets find their lyrical feats,

A culture born from the urban sprawl,

A revolution, breaking down the wall.

From the Bronx to Compton's embrace,

Through the speakers, it leaves its trace,

A voice for the silenced and oppressed,

A language that won't be suppressed.

The DJ spins, the crowd ignites,

As the MC takes flight,

Words become weapons, stories unfold,

Through the power of words, a tale is told.

From Grandmaster Flash to Kendrick
