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...

My lord..
Honestly.. You can justify anything if you try hard enough..
Quote me a poet that has said they want to rip some brains raw with a chain saw.... Those definitions our friend arktic frost posted said it best:
-Prose that resembles a poem in some respect, as in form or sound.
-A quality that suggests poetry, as in grace, beauty, or harmony: the poetry of the dancer's movements
A quality that suggests poetry.. Saying you want to rip brains raw with a chain saw does not in any way suggest poetry, nor resemble poetry... Rap is NOT a genre of poetry... My god woman.. A horror movie is a genre of film because it entirly falls into the catagory of "movies"
If styles of rap can be employed with absolutly no poetical aspects, such as afore mentioned verse... How exactly can rap just be a form of poetry..
Rap is its own art form...........I'll say it again
Rap is its own art form...........
It has aspects that make it relate to poetry, but overall, rap is a form of MUSIC..... The origional rap, as stated by myself and OMB earlier in this thread is fucking hosting partys and giving shot outs to well known people in the audience... thats where rap ORIGIONATED FROM...... Not from a poet trying a new form of poety... PLEASE. Do I really need to keep going?
Sorry if I seem agitated... I'm tired, its late... You know...
