I like the essay "From Hip-Hop Comes Hope" http://www.thisibelieve.org/dsp_ShowEssay.php?uid=31467. My favorite part was when the author quotes the lyrics of the particular song that changed how she viewed hip-hop as a genre. I like the message that music helps people get through tough times because I think that it can really help. I can also empathize with the author when she says "Working with the beats helps me move faster..." because I find that music has helpful effects depending on what I am listening to and why. Sometimes it is the lyrics that are most important and at others it is the background, pace, or combination of elements that creates the desired effect. In short I would say that this is my favorite of the audio essays we listened to and the ones I looked at because it it the one that is easiest for me to identify with in most respects.
