Rap music is one of the greatest innovation of the century and it's a shame people don't realize that.
There is NO OTHER genre of music where the musical use of rhymes is as developed as in Rap, it literally doesn't exist. And that's what makes Rap so unique.
Rappers accidentally found a way to use rhyme schemes that helps to repeat certain syllables on certain beats to give a rhythmic feel to the vocals while keeping a lot of space to explore lyricism and story telling, which is an incredible innovation both in terms of musicality and of lyricism.
People who think Rap is just speaking on a beat should actually compare things like that to Rap. Let's for example compare Senegalese Tassou(vocal performance similar to Rap but with a very poor use of rhymes compared to Rap) and Rap : Tassou : youtube.com/watch?v=ZvuQq-67P1M Rap : youtube.com/watch?v=4emAJf2kMgE
Notice how the Tassou guy has to repeat certain phrases and use call and response to keep things interesting and keep it flowing so it's more interesting than someone who is just speaking on a beat. Now compare that to the Biggie song I posted, where Biggie Smalls keep a rhyme schemes to keep things flowing as well as messing with the rhyme structure to make it more unpredictable while still catching the beat.
Rappers are essentially drummer-poets, drummer because the way they arrange and play with repetitions of syllables & rhymes to imply certain accents is similar to the way drummers use their drums, and poets because of how they explore their lyricism.

You realise that actual poetry evolved beyond stupid rhymes centuries ago, right?

Rap music is one of the worst innovation of the century and it's a shame people don't realize that.

People who think Rap is better than speaking on a beat should actually compare things like that to Rap.

Rappers are essentially dumber-poets, dumber because the way they arrange and play with repetitions of syllables & rhymes to imply certain accents is similar to the way dumb people use their drums, and poets because of how they explore their lyricism.

>rappers learnt how to rhyme words >they can end multiple lines with the same rhyme scheme What the fuck, how do they do it?

I don't quite understand your point. How do you define "actual poetry" and why do you think Rap and "actual poetry" should follow the same route? After all, Rap and "actual poetry" do not exist in the same context, so why should they evolve in the same way? Rap are vocals that interacts with a beat, and the use of a rhythmic, metrical, and syntactic arrangement of syllables is useful here to keep things interesting.
Also what do you mean by "stupid rhymes"? Would you please give me an example of "actual poetry" from "centuries ago" using "stupid rhymes" like those on pic related?
>"borderline schizo, sorta fine fits though. pour the wine, whore to grind, quarter to nine, let's go." >Instead of a simple ABAB rhyme and moving on, he went with ABABAAAB. It breaks expectations. The fact that he did it while still maintaining a coherent story and flow is what I think is cool. Would YOU have ever thought to rhyme "schizo" with "tits though?", since you seem to be smart and above "stupid rhymes"
whoah.. black pepo aren't subhuman retards after all...

This thread isn't about Black people or race. Eminem was mentioned too for example . I don't know why you are trying to race bait.
Hunter Jenkins
Too bad rap completely abandoned all of that for mumbling identical triplets over and over again

Yngwie was an early warrior of kaka. He channels so much kaka, he's spurting out metric tons of kaka a second, as much kaka as he can. And when he stops and vibratos, oh my God, it's a fat, almost solid log of kaka coming out. Based Yngwie

>Rappers are essentially drummer-poets
sure but rap and hip hop didn't need to take over the entire industry. no one wants to be that depressed and pissed off all the time.
