People built on it from there and today it has turned into a genre of music called RAP............ Not a genre of poetry... Not a form of poetry that is some how left out of all poetry books and texts as being a known style of poetry..

People gotta be kidding me saying rap is just a form of poetry...

Shit is insane.....
I'll say it again...

Relation - Yes
Rap being 'just a form of poetry' - Fucking hell no
