@@juandavidrestrepoduran6007 This is not it. His views on rap are influenced by him being socially conservative. Those were probable influenced by the fact that he is deeply committed to his religion but still have no base in judaism or him being descended from ethnic jews.

The most underrated convo on UKposts about this subject... Respek to both !!

My teacher did this!!! We listened to Lauryn Hill, the Fugees and lupe fiasco in class for weeks pointing out the different rhyme schemes and aspects of poetry they used in their raps it was really fun

I was extremely lucky, my teacher played Tupac Changes for our class (around 2013/14) as a demonstration of how rap and poetry can be one and the same

I'm currently watching this video for English class :D

Lyricology 101 Thats great! Just off the top of my head (of which I imagine there are some that you have done) I would love to see Nas, Busta Rhymes and Slick Rick, those would be great!

I feel like they are most likely talking about modern rap, because most modern hip-hop songs sound similar. (atleast to me)

This is rap not hiphop.

Harriyama rap as a style of music is a myth, rap is a verb, it is what you do to hip-hop music. You can call it rap, but it is all hip-hop.

Dat Crusader Thanks :P it's coming along but it's not turning out how I wanted. I'm probably just gonna end up rewriting it. Do you have anything recorded?

Yes, it would be enjoyable to watch rap with different styles/ flows/ subject matter/ mastery of the English language while displaying pride in their craft slowly rot into retarded/ same subject matter/ special education flows, mastery of the same 320 words, while ducking the rest of the English language, talkin' bout they 'Rappers', while the currently skilled real rappers don't get proper shine because they think before they talk. That would be awesome to watch.

I would pay to watch an episode just on Aesop Rock

Not quite, it isn't, it's something else. The rhyming is great, but very few rappers are in the same league as top poets when it comes to content. Granted, there's so much bad poetry out there as well as so many mediocre rappers, but if you think, for example, that Eminem's or Masta Ace's storytelling is good enough to compare with poets, you probably need to read better poetry.

R.A.P. = Rythm and Poetry

saying rap is poetry in its best form without any explanation besides "try writing one yourself" isn't a good argument.

kinshaw there are many albums out there that make all the argument needed.

"Motive" is often used interchangeably with "motif", at least in contemporary musical terminology. The use of the word in this video is not incorrect.

I think the intention and modern use is the same, but as a music nerd this bothered me as well hahah

@@comradedoggo3744 Sorry genius, the use of motive instead of motif in this video isn't not incorrect (aka incorrect). Using the correct word is a tenant of effective communication.

What's really funny is that a lot of ancient Greek philosophy was set up as poetry with rhyming schemes and consideration for syllables (i.e. flow). Old Greek philosophers were basically the hip-hop artists of their world, standing around the stoa spitting their ideas and theories.

Hip hop is poetry

@@jakej2680 A lot of ancient Hindu/vedic philosophy and mythology were also set up as poetry and verses. So they were the first rappers lol. I think Mahabharata is the longest poem in the world.

Depends on the time period. Rhyming wasn't common among Classical poetry.

From what i remember, rhyming is really useful for remember a lot of stories. The vedas and the Quran used something like that
