Doctors at Britain's [world / worldly] famous Cambridge University believe that hip-hop music can help people [who / those] are depressed or mentally ill. They call it 'hip-hop therapy'. The doctors said that [many / much] of the lyrics (the words to the songs) in hip-hop music can [teach / reach] out to people with emotional [problematic / problems] . A team of doctors wrote a report about [this / them] . The report is in a special medical magazine called 'The Lancet Psychiatry'. The doctors said a lot of hip-hop music [speaks / speaking] of overcoming hardships and [big / biggish] difficulties in life. In particular, hip-hop has lyrics about being [poor / poorly] , being unpopular, and about crime and drugs. These are all problems that can lead [for / to] depression and mental illnesses.

The report [on / in] hip-hop and mental health says: "Hip-hop artists use their skills and talents [not / nor] only to describe the world they see, but also as a means of breaking [freely / free] . There's often a message of hope in amongst the lyrics, describing the place where they want to [been / be] - the cars they want to own, the models they want to [date / dating] ." The doctors chose five hip-hop songs as part [of / for] the therapy. One of them is the classic 1982 [tune / tuned] 'The Message' by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five. Another is a [track / tractor] called 'Juicy' by The Notorious BIG. This has lyrics that tell people they can be [success / successful] even if others say they cannot be. BIG explains how teachers told him he [will / would] "amount to nothing" but then became a superstar.
