Poetry and songwriting both share a significance when it comes to creating a vivid image in the readers mind. Rapper Tupac Shakur and Harlem Renaissance Poet Langston Hughes both share that in common as artist when it comes to using imagery and personification to showcase their feelings. “The Rose That Grew from Concrete” by Shakur and “Juke Box Love Song” by Hughes are prime examples of both artist explaining their harsh environments to express the beauty they find in it all, and although they are similar in that manner the authors differ by the way they find beauty in the struggle. Shakur is using the beauty of nature to express his personal struggles while Hughes is describing beauty in Harlem, New York’s culture.
