Read the passage from "Country Music Can Hip-Hop."
When people think about hip-hop, they think about urban settings like city streets and subways. When they hear country music, they think about more rural settings, such as ranches with horses. Young urban teens and cowboys live in totally different settings. Their lives are quite different from one another. Their music, however, has many of the same elements. For one thing, country music and hip-hop both tell stories. Country music songs often have a narrative that tells a complete history of the characters the song is about. Most of the time, the stories are very personal. They tell about someone who is living a difficult life and how he or she deals with its challenges. Hip-hop does the same thing.
