Umm...C-Section it was actually End who edited your sig.

^ i know he edited it, i just had jea cyph at the bottom of all his kaite obsession. and he put jae cyphs AIM profile.

Well that's how it started. With the Last Poets doing their spoken word poetry over bare beats (African drums usually...)...

I agree, there's many out there who combine poetry and hip-hop to good effect. It's all about your definition of poetry. And what kind impresses you and what not.

Do you like to dig? Or is the more simple the most effective? Are finding the different layers over time what hits hard? Or the blunt emotionally driven bare lines what catch your ear?

Also, the apparent simplicity of certain things can hide a lot of depth. And be subtely abstract. Now that's masterful. And also the most complex can be so simple and elementary..

Poetry varies so much. But yeah, it's nice to see the 'Aesop Rock type' pushing forward.

UK Hip Hop is sorta like acid. Shit seems there. . but i'll always be fake.

Methinks the acid is beginning to 'work', Cloud Man...

since forever. everything William Shakespeare wrote was in
a certain pentameter. meaning every line had a certain number
of syllables.. it just didnt rhyme.. so?
get to the part with hectate.. that is pure poetry, even
though the scene was written at a later date than the rest of
the play.

I think its all hip hop, just a different style of hip hop. Personally, I think for something to be classified as hip hop it just needs one thing: the music. Thats the unique thing to it; it has a different sound to rock, pop, metal, etc.

Then u can split it up into categories... for example, if the vocals are sung, then its RnB, if they are spoken, its rap.. then u can break rap into poetic, intellectual, gangsta, etc.. its all just different styles of hip hop for different people.. personally, i enjoy all of it, as long as its meaningful and showcases some of the artists skill
