Are great lyrical rappers like eminem up there with great authors?

Are great lyrical rappers like eminem up there with great authors?

Absolutely. Human condition AND use of meter/rhyme

This album is poetry. Prove me wrong.

I think that they definitely can reach pretty high.

The message I provided collided within the melody
A metamorphosism reliving giving debauchery
The resurrection of a savior coming out of Nazareth where you could catch a laceration and a crucifixion
Under what condition d'you make the decision moving like it's in a mild position living at the bottom wishing I was with it
Couldn't tell the difference
So tired of giving the false opinions
My faith in the book that was written by other people
They probably worked with a genius
So every role was intended for anyone to follow
Attention, I got a testament
Just like the book of Mark
I'm sparking a revolution
My story a revelation
Amazing, I'd rather save it, debate it
Everything on my mind
While I was taking a mental picture
OK, so my train of thought is evasive
I'm faded within my memory
From a daily addiction of always staying sedated and claiming I wanna make it
I'm nothing more than a follower
The problem is that most people only look at popular rap and miss all of the actual good stuff.

I been around the world
Partied with all types of girls
from police women to strippers a thousand pearls
A whole boatload o' hoes done swallowed my pole
but only a porno bitch can throw me outta control
>Pussy and hard drugs
>Sawn off shotguns we gots thugs
>Get my cock sucked by rock groupies and pop sluts
>Weird chicks, with big titties and pierced clits
>exotic dancers in love with us the fuck you think?

I put the D into Drugs an' the G into Guns
I put the D into Dubs an' the T into Thugs
I put the C into 'Caine an' the P into Pain
The G into Game, Pop-Pop -- three in ya brain

NOW IF I FUCK THIS MODEL

Classy

very nice
cant prove you wrong there

What did he mean by that?

That's just it though isn't it? In the face of my message, you have nothing to say but "we don't care". Well, continue to not care all the way to your doom; while you're at it, why don't you just go ahead and cheer on the people who are pioneering the whole thing?

You are not insulting me. This is a bigger picture. It was never about me. Its about the future. The future of our planet, our society, our civilization is all in great peril, but we the general populace are too complacent to hold those responsible accountable. It is no laughing matter: what you kick down the road today your children will inevitably deal with. If not their children, their children's children.

This is no joke. There's no where else to go. You can't even make a single good point.

Tail pipe draggin’ volume blastin’ bailin’ out my brain
Red light flash
Dem stop I smash
Abraxas, hydroplane, massive
Catch this flight flow
Rainin’ madness
Mastered mine and laced
The ave with black cat fish tailin’ waves of stratus
Curb right ta far left lane
Don’t wait for me, if I care
Bout anything, anywhere
Losin’ myself, I get the stares
What I’m lookin’ at, wasn’t there
(Wasn’t there)
Nothin’ out there
Can’t stay inside
Hit the bar, sleep deprived
Who drove the car
I’m still alive
Up in smoke, moon was low
How’d you know
Didn’t say I did
Whose is this, you know what this is.. but do you know
Fly inside out
Rot dem big shot simp slot shit but a one hit quick stop
So many ways
Ta skin the frame
Remember when
First got strange
Now I just think it life obey
So what comes next
Right away
(Right away)
Raise the cup, tilt it dry
Come black cloud
Cover the sky
Tongue thought pupil
Of your eye
Sickness moves you can’t deny
Lickin’ thought you mastermind
For mercy man cry
Yeah I’m knowin’ and
You know why
Nail thought mental
Ever dem try
Pigeon hole me get crucified
Can’t clone this edge
What’s it cost
To lose your head
Wit out end up lost
Should be askin’
Where’s the safe
Born wit a ski mask
On my face
Lycanthropic manic cycles
Fire water burnin’ bibles
Wake up ragin’ call a taxi
Take me to the nearest city
Cell light up yeah get at me make it quick though blood im busy (get busy)
Drilled a hole into my head
Pierced the bone and
Felt the breeze
Lift my thoughts out
Dem sick bed
Wit a pair of crow
Skeleton wings
Know nothin’ since then
It seems
Been floatin’ thought
The nexus threadin’ dreams

Haven't lurked here in awhile.
Am I miss something or has Veeky Forums finally accepted rap as a form of poetry?

It seems so

I'll consider it when writing your own lyrics is the norm and not the exception.

>ape hop and crap are considered by Veeky Forums to be any better than gurgling piss in your mouth
another board to never visit. next you gonna tell me the repetitive piano pieces in kanye west songs are beethoven level.

they are.

Had a professor who lost her mind over this idea. She said "they're just couplets. They're just fucking couplets!"

Niggers are incapable of art and rap is for niggers

did a black man fuck your girlfriend?

the 2 arent comparable

rap is definitely more enjoyable than dead authors worshipped by losers

I hate 'intellectual' rappers. I'm not looking for teenager tier 'deep' thoughts when I listen to degenerate noise. I want ignorance.

If I want to have my thoughts provoked I will read a book.

cringe

BITCH IM ON PAROLE
STILL HIT THE DOPE

Giving Bob Dylan the Nobel Prize was a mistake

While this is obvious bait, i'd still want to say that the gretest musical achievment of the 20th century , that is, Jazz music, relied mostly on the talents of black people.
Now it's too soon, but i have hope that, as many years pass, Jazz musicians and composers would be held in the same regard the ones in classical music are, regardless of the race of the former

>gretest musical achievment of the 20th century , that is, Jazz music
Lol
