at the core in it's ORIGINAL form rap is a DIRECT reflection of poetry...there is darker more morbid poetry that can be considered along the lines of the style that Eminem (whom you afformentioned) raps in...not everything that's classified as poetic has to be something soft...there are so many aspects of rap and poetry that are the same, the only real difference is that rap is performed directly to the pattern of the beat itself...to me that is the ONLY difference in the two and that does not mean that rap is rap and poetry is poetry...rap is a FORM of poetry at it's core...no matter what your content is...

does that mean every rapper can write poetry and every poet can rap?...no...not every rapper can write without it being to the pattern of an actual beat in order for it to be a rap and not every rapper can NOT write to a beat and have flow without a beat moving them...

but rap is STILL a genre of poetry...just like movies...not everyone can do horror flicks, some people do dramas, and vice versa...
