Im not talking about what you may call rap music (50 cent,g unit and all that generic bullshit) Im meaning real rap music,hip hops rap music.
It is all pulled from a poetic form,we are rappers here to tell our story in a respectfull form.

Rap when broken down to its original format,will and allways be MY form of poetry. I see my self as a philosphical poet who is about to clash with what you might call comprehensive world views,it seems what are matters and of grave importance to me are ethics, politics, metaphysics, theology, and epistemology are all expressed in my music,which is reached from a poetic form,but translated thru rap music.

So I guess, it comes back to one personnal veiw on what they see there OWN music as.
I am a poetic my raps to me are poetry. Which nostradamus so blatently tried to tell me I am not.


Well I guess you can take the element and form your take on it. Rap, to you, could indeed be a form of poetry.

Its a bit of a generalisation to say rap is poetry. Those artists you mentioned dont have anything to do with rap in my eyes. Its just pop music. Even underground artists might not be poetic. But some may be, and some may see rap as poetry.
