and i started thinking.
this is like poetry.
infact, this is better than a lot of poetry, or on par at least.
metaphors, rhymes, emotions, etc. plus. its rap music, so its cool.
then i started thinking about that maya angelou quote about 'poetry being music', and i thought about how much newfound thinking of certain rap music as poetry was conflicted with this thought.
i shrugged it off, but the whole time i was listening to this one song on repeat like 15 times.
here the cause of this thinking,

Ok song. I think that all music, especially rap is most definitely poetry. I think some people dismiss it because of the gratuitous use of sex, foul language, and uninspired topics. True music is poetry-- I mean, what exactly is poetry anyway? Anything that isn't prose? But I think that it takes thought and it must have meaning. You can't just slap words on paper and call it poetry.
Well that's exactly what William Carlos Williams did with "Red Wheelbarrow"...
