Saying hip hop is just spoken word with rhythm is like saying singing is just speaking with a melody, and rock is just plucking strings. I swear the rhyme schemes of rap will actually make me discover shit and I didnt even intend on writing it. The flow and rhyme scheme and even delivery of hip hop bring out a completly different feel and definetly a more wide variety of lyrical content. Hip Hop is its own thing, if people wanna be a part of it, they better learn to spit.

werd... i definitely feel you on that one... that's why it dumbfounds me to see kats spit shyt like laffy taffy and be succesful... no one appreciates a lyricist who takes the time to craft his shyt and actually try sumn new to re-energize the music...

i'm not saying that those other genres ARE hip-hop... but they do play an important role in the development of our artform... always have...always will
