Rap is no different than Poetry.

                  To me there is no difference in rapping and also people doing poetic slams. It can be two separate events but rap doesn't have to mean its all about gangsters, overload of money, getting hoes, etc. I love rapping, It became  a passion after knowing so much about most of the rapper's life stories or the way they rhyme things up.


                 So i then became a writer myself, it was hard but i got to it and now it feels like i don't wanna stop writing. the way you wanna think of how to rhyme the words. I have a sample to show you that there is no difference and my rap which already has a Hip-Hop beat with it doesn't have to be about any of those topics i stated above.

                                            "...Why did we even have to ignite?
                                                The world has come against us,
                                                    Accompanied by many races,
                                               Humans don't even know their places,
                                               The 5-0's motto is "Chase Us" ,
                                               Young or old let's change our paces,
                                                 I'm not just a man, owh yes i have a plan,
                                                To change the reason why money is grand,
                                                Wish me good luck for that, Amen.
                                                Owh wait...It's too late, I'm sorry,
                                                But even Superman can't stop the government,
                                                We'll have no choice but to join them.              "


                Thats what i think and write about when i rap cause it's true facts. You gotta start understanding what we mean in the raps rather than just listening to the beat. I'll be explaining what that passage above meant on my next post and if you wanna know more on the difference between poetry and rap then watch the video by TEDxAldeburgh on Hip-Hop or Shakespeare?
