The Art of Language Generation and its Analogies to Hip-Hop Production

Language generation is like a skill that requires familiarity with different styles and the history of literature. Just as a hip-hop producer combines and reconfigures music in a pleasurable way, language generation involves recombining words and phrases in a way that is enjoyable to readers. While the tools used may be different, the end result is still an output or a text. The skill lies in knowing what to cut and recognizing what is good when you see it, just like a great writer or editor would do.
