@lhasaguy “For what it’s worth, RAP is not music”
Poetry in Motion was a song written about a beautiful woman.
“Poetry in motion” describes somebody, or “something” that moves gracefully, Rap can never be described as a graceful language with its delivery, so is not “poetry in motion”
My opinion only.
Rap by its nature is awkward and unmusical. Talked not sung it is poetry, but the exaggerated antics of the performers do nothing that appears in anyway to look like “poetry in motion”
l agree with you. I find it’s rat a tat tat delivery form is so much like a repugnant pneumatic drill by the side of the road.
l don’t like listening to it either….the lyrics just rattled off so quickly are sometimes just too hard to follow.
RAP is perfect for recording artists who can’t sing, like wearing caps and grabbing their groin. I can never work out why they do that either.
