Rap is 100% poetry.Why? Most of the raps carry hidden meanings in them that leaves it to the listener to make up what its all about.readertim109 wrote: ↑12 Mar 2007, 13:49 Do you think that rap is poetry? Why or why not? In your opinion, what's the relationship between rap and poetry?
Rappers use poetry in writing their verses .This is so because ,real rappers express their feelings,pain and hate all through their raps but not directly in black and white

Who can decide for the masses? It’s a personal opinion not a set rule. I believe most music is poetic.
I was previously half convinced rap is poetry, but then I watched The Get Down Brothers and noticed the spoken conversations in rhyme seemed more poetic without the background beat and when spoken slower. What really convinced me was the way the characters would speak the rhyme was then faded in and out of the actual song.
I will leave you with these lyrics:
“Everything we would say would end with a rhyme,
So we memorised them and said ten at a time,
Then we notice people started calling us poets,”

I don't have anything against people listening to rap but it's not "poetry". But people are afraid to tell the truth because to say that may sound "politically incorrect".
