FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: After having known Edward for just a few short months, Bella admits that “it would cause [her] physical pain to be separated from him now" (Meyer 283).

Queen Pen, a famous Hip-hop artist said "There's so much money in the Hip-hop industry right now that people shouldn't be struggling" (90).

Like busta rhymes said, even with dance, "underground music is the core of the hip-hop fabric" (89). Choreographers and dancers arwe always looking to the underground music for inspiration and something new and unique.

The Hip-hop industry "is a demoralizing business", according to Q-tip from A Tribe Called Quest. Directors will choose choreographers because of connections rather than true, raw talent.They no longer do what is right, but whatever they want.

Although the industry is unfair, "As a true artist, you should never edit your creativity. If you feel something, you should right it. Put it out. Practice it. Know it. It's part of you. It's your art" (84). You don't dance "to get paid. I've always loved to do this because I appreciate the art form" (130).

In this business, you do your best and strive to be the best, but you can't "pleaase everybody" (127).
