Boy returns home to find the girl facing domestic abuse and shooting up while pregnant. With a needle in her arm, baby two months due. That I would one day see her standin’ in the front rowīut two weeks later she got found in the back of a school I kept on singin’ my song and hopin’ at a show Her mamma said she with a n***a that be treatin’ her wrong I came back home to find lil Sasha was gone.
It made me think for a minute, then looked in her eyes. I said what you wanna be, she said, “Alive.” Talkin’ bout what we gon’ be when we grow up. But, in spiteĪll of the bullshit, we on our back starin’ at the stars above We chillin’ like a villain and a n***a feelin right. Three in the morning yawnin’ dancin’ under street lights. When her and Suzy, yeah, they threw a slumber - partyīut you cannot call it that cause it was slummer.
Now Suzy Skrew had a partna named Sasha Thumper Jump to Andre 3000’s verse at 1:20 (Lyrics to verse 2 below). The tragedy keeps coming in “Da Art of Storytelling Part 1” by Outkast. Mos Def’s remake, a cautionary tale about rappers selling out, stays true to the formula. Its pretty much the opposite of Vonengut’s first trajectory – an inverted U that ends in destruction. Let’s start with “Children’s Story” by Slick Rick.ĭespite the slightly comical video, the story ain’t funny – so don’t you dare laugh. But most great hip hop stories don’t fit the cheery graphs that Vonnegut focuses on in the clip. Get ‘em Kurt (Hat tip to Robert Krulwich’s blog). I’ve focused a lot on scientific storytelling in my coursework, so this post will focus primarily on the hip hop side of the equation.The first cliche to get out of the way is that all stories are pretty much the same. Science Communicators and Hip Hop connoisseurs are no different. Businessmen, politicians, journalists, advertisers, and the Pentagon all preach the power of stories.
