How? It's a text, is has a meaning, it rhymes, it tells a story. Of course D4 ain't nothing poetic but look back at some of the songs he gave us 2004-2007.Originally posted by mode View Post

poetry is different,Originally posted by Iamhiph0p View PostHow? It's a text, is has a meaning, it rhymes, it tells a story. Of course D4 ain't nothing poetic but look back at some of the songs he gave us 2004-2007.
its either meant to be read, or meant to be read aloud.
it doesnt necessarily have to rhyme,
it may or may not have meaning,
it may or may not be a story.
and these are things it has in common w a rap.
but a rap, from its inception, is made to be on music. it lives on music.
there's more to a rap than just the words written, the delivery the performance of the verse, is all a part of that rap.
you dont find that so much in poetry, or at least not in how we commonly interact with it,
since there's definitely poetry reading, where these things come into play.
but again, it isnt on music.
now a rap can be very poetic, you can find examples of that in waynes music.
best poet rapper ever is probably blu, who went thru a stretch where he did nothing but poet raps. and it was ridiculous.
but on the whole, rapping, stands strong enough on its own, has enough technical elements, spiritual elemnts, what have you, to be its own art form, separate and distinct from poetry.
but thats just me.
which now(im goin off, i havent thought abou tthis stuff in awhile)
brings me to waynes decision to branch out, and do all this, in order to be a " great artist"
without realising that he was already a great artist practising a great art.
but rap is so young, and it gets treated like a spin off from other prose, and whatnot,
but i think thatll change over next idk thirty years or so, too many dudes are taking their writing seriously for it not to be.
so basically, i agree w jay's larger point, but dont agree w bunching it in w poetry.Comment

The interviewer didnt know shit about Wayne so Wayne felt like this is a waste of time. Jazz? Poetry? Writing down music? This guy clearly doesnt know anything about Wayne. I would get pissed too. The interviewer should have done his research on Wayne.Originally posted by ThijnNickiWeezy View PostSo I watched 'The Carter' again yesterday and always when I watch that there's one scene that's bothering me.

Now in some way I understand Wayne, I mean the guy clearly has barely done any research in Wayne (everyone knows that Wayne doesn't write) and Wayne has like 1000000 interviews so I can understand he's kinda annoyed but the way he treats this man like he's such a well diva I guess? Like Wayne who the fuck do you think you are I mean your not god? I agree that the man asked stupid questions but the way this was going like I can't stand it, that's so rude and that made me have my doubts about Wayne as a person. It really annoys me when superstars act like gods, that they're better than us and that's exactly what Wayne's doing here. What are your thoughts on this?
