  Drop It Like It’s Hot–Educational-Target Audience- Parents, school district staff, youth workers  Hip hop is the most popular type of music for teens and it is important for adults to know to what they are listening.

While parents, teachers, and counselors cannot control for this music, they can be aware and informed of to what exactly these youth are listening. This presentation of current hip-hop lyrics attempts to shed some more light on the contents of this music, revealing unexpected themes.  Music is utilized
