poetry contains imagery and word twisting, so does rap
poetry contains metaphors, so does rap

therearemany more similarities I can go on and on about...but honestly, every aspect of rap is also found in poetry, they are VERY related...

I'm not gonna bother replying to arktic frost as the lady got no idea what shes babbling on about..

But yeah, this is true.. They can be related, but rap is still in itself, its own art, its a myth that rap is simply just a form of poetry. Contrary to what some hip hop heads believe, rap is not only about lyricsm... Rappers create music. And certain styles of rap have nothing to do with poetry... You know what I'm saying?

Relation - yes
Under the catagory of poetry - hell no
