mmm-hmm... good poetry there. feh! i'll give props to KRS-1(about 20 years ago)... but again, it's not poetry. that's a rhyming slam(overdone)... and not art. macho bullshit posturing? sure.. but not art.
it gets better huh? tell me what wisdom he bestows in the rest tiga? and if it's about other rappers or how bad he thinks he is or how peckerwoods don't listen or how tough the hood is...
I wouldn't contest that much modern rap be it underground, alternative, indie, mainstream whatever...is NOT poetry....there is some, but its rare compared to the mass of just rhyming.
underground hiphop is NOT an oxymoron....many unknown rappers are out there, they have their own little groups of other rappers who they hang with, they may have freestyle battles or whatever...its their own thing, not mainstream at all....unheard of, but it does exist...it doesn't get much more underground than that.
furthermore little cuss, I have begun to think that you are being a little cuss for the sole purpose of fulfulling your moniker, and unless you can prove otherwise, I'm going to let you delve in your pile of ignorance and close-minded self-righteous quasi-intelligent existence.

You prejudiced pig. Bow your bible-toting white supremacist hood in shame. You have a shred of substance within that drivel- but it is implied within the text rather than explicitly stated. Say it without the prejudice.
If Eminem has talent I must have misconstrued it as marketed mass appeal (under heavy pretense).
And if Tiger knows poetry from a hole in the ground I'll be the next guy to fly the space shuttle.
Not saying some rap can't be poetic. Just reemphasizing that making words rhyme is not poetry. Poetry has existed since before christ was born. Drums were beaten even earlier. You mix the two and voila - rap. The idea is nothing new, all that's new is who's buying into the notion of owning poetry this go around.
Poor grammar and vocabulary is the lame - especially if someone is going to start spouting off about poetry without even knowing where it comes from.

Ooop. Seemed I popped someones pimple... Don't have a prejudice bone in my body...except for pussies like you.
ALL Music is rooted in Poetry set to music. As with most things it is the "Quality" of the poetry that differentiates the Artist. Say what you want about Tupac Shakur but he said things and phrased his lyrics in ways that created an indelible stamp. You new his songs with just one line. Hip Hop is not dead but it must evolve.

I'd take Nelly over Eminem.

good day
Well now you're forced to listen to the teacher and the lesson
Class is in session so you can stop guessin
If this is a tape or a written down memo
See I am a professional, this is not a demo
In fact call it a lecture, a visual picture
Sort of a poetic and rhythm-like mixture
Listen, I'm not dissin but there's somethin that you're missin
Maybe you should touch reality, stop wishin
For beats with plenty bass and lyrics said in haste
If this meaning doesn't manifest put it to rest
I am a poet, you try to show it, yet blow it
It takes concentration for fresh communication
Observation, that is to see without speaking
Take off your coat, take notes, I am teachin
a class, or rather school, cause you need schooling
I am not a king or queen, I'm not ruling
This is an introduction to poetry
A small dedication to those that might know of me
They might know of you and maybe your gang
But one thing's for sure, neither one of y'all can hang
Cause yo I'm like a arrow, and Scott is the crossbow
Say something now ... thought so
You seem to be the type that only understand
The annihilation and destruction of the next man
That's not poetry, that is insanity
It's simply fantasy far from reality
Poetry is the language of imagination
Poetry is a form of positive creation
Difficult, isn't it? The point? You're missin it
Your face is in front of my hand so I'm dissin it
that sucks tiga... hope you graduate from it soon.
cuss
p.s. oh, got some scoop fer ya tiga... that new nelly will be out shortly after em and elton's new joint hits the stores.

with ltj bukem.
not traditional 'rap' per se... more like mc over atmospheric drum and bass. it's all flow. no lyrics.
Conrad is the greatest lyricist. His words are absolutely musical.
download ltj bukem - progression session 6 live in america

Oh and another thing. I don't judge people by the color of their skin...just the toughness.
So true,.
