Rap and Poetry-Its a Difference
I was just reading a open mic and noticing how much good feedback it was getting, like "dope flows, nice lyrics" and so on, then i realized that that was not rap, that was poetry, half the so-called "Conscience" ppl on this site are not really rappin there jus doin poetry and theres a big difference, the shit is nice and all but it aint rap, jus realize that and im not sayin dis to say that it can only be rap by talkin bout guns ans stuff, peace

i agree 100% i got alot of spoken word i added to my soundclick spoken word is live poetry for those who dont know big diffrence from rap check the soundlcick and see |
umm...I don't see a diff?
if i rap with meaning and feeling..its poetry? I don't get it |
Quote:
listen to my soundclick its immpossible to put the meaning in rap you can inpoetry too many parameters hold you back like flow beat etc etc poetry dont have to rhyme rap does |
well there are different types of rap...... if you are doing text battling.... well that aint poetry..... but if you do topikal..... well that is sort of poetry
|
Yeah..but on here..people drop poems..
that's like a one verse open mic..but my open mics are always 3 verses with a chorus..but poems are like one paragraph..but Mines rhyme...so is all text rap poetry ? |
check it... all rap is poetry... but not all poetry is rap...
that's today's mathematics for the masses... now go ponder on that... werd!!! *start edit* damn..lol...didn't noticed that shyt rhymed until now...lol... sign of a true lyricist...lmao *end of edit* |
lol...... ^^^^ you lost me mate
|
it's simple really...
let's use tupac for example... (the easiest person i could think of that realtes to this) if you really listen to the emotion and the words of his rhymes... that dude was a lot deeper than what people give him credit for... it was poetry with a street edge.... it doesn't matter what you are talking about... poetry involves emotion and whatever it is you're trying to express from the depths of ya soul... doesn't rap do that? even the hood songs... this is shyt that kats have witnessed and lived to tell about... That song by Pac... "Trapped"... that shyt was deep as hell... ghetto as all hell but it was personal... he talked about his father being locked down... his struggles... that's poetry... but it was also rap... now i wouldn't take some of Shakespeare's shyt and put a hip-hop beat behind it and call it rap... that would be retarded and there is no way you can leave his words as they were written and drop it on a hip-hop beat and make it flow... if it can be done i'd like to see it! besides, it would also take away from what shakespeare was tryna do with his work.... i could go deeper with this but my fingers would cramp up... it's a lot easier when ya just talking to somebody face to face...lol |
yeah i gues..... but freestyle battlin.... that shit aint poetry
|
lol.... nah... that shyt is HIP-HOP!!!
|
no.. there is not a difference.. poetry can be spoken to a beat... rap is just slang for poetry to not make it seem so sensitive.. i do alot of spoken word.. its still bassically rap.. rap is just sayin shit to a beat with emotion.. poetry are the lyrics u right to "rap".. ther enot to different at all in my eyes...
|
of course ra and poerty have a difference... thats why there is 2 meanings...
|
depends on which perspective u look at it man.. im a poet, if u cant tell already by my lyrics in my song.. a love writer.... i write love poetry.. all i did was put them to a beat and chop off some words for flow sake.. so how much different are they ?....
|
YEAH all of you shut up... rap is hip hop not poetry...
