Rap over recent years has carried negative connotations and stigmas. However, I prefer to trim the layers of public ridicule so that I can get to the raw core of rap. I have two very talented friends who take their raps very seriously, as they should. They treat their poems like art., because that is what they are. I heard the words pour out of their mouths with a smooth flow and a catchy beat, helping me understand why this is a "Renaissance of the Word." Rap is poetry. That is the underlying fact. Poetry is meant to be spoken with heart and soul, and that is exactly what takes place when a rapper performs his rap. Rap is intended to speak truths. But the talent comes with presentation. As Lauryn Hill once said, " I treat this like my thesis. Well-written topic broken down into pieces. I introduce then produce words so profuse," this is the true embodiment of Rap.
