Hip Hop ain't poetry. Hip Hop is just ... Hip Hop. Poetry is just another form of art
it is not poetry, it has elements of poetry in it.

i voted yes initially but i'm changing it to no. the MC/rap portion of hiphop is poetry but the other elements arent. so you couldnt say hip-hop as a whole is poetry.
rap isn't poetry to a beat, poetry is more expressive and visualy creative, hell most rappers can't tell the difference between a similie and a metaphor
why do people think because 2 lines rhyme that it's poetry?
this poll is also shit, you talkin like you want a serious argument then i stroll up and see those idiotic answers, fmd :chef:
but poetry is also incorporated into rap, but it's incorporated into other forms of music, rap isnt poetry but poetry is in rap
if a song in hip hop has words in it and its dope then yes its poetry fuck all the cream bullshit u be talkin about it all comes down to whats said! 2pac for ex talked about how cops are being hella fucked up in usa and no beat or bus cream shit etc could ever enlighten someone like the messages said showing its poetry cause thats what poetry does. Im sure rza meth or anyother one would agree, go ahead and ask em if u know how too. Yes there are many forms of poetry can comparin diff styles of poetry to eachother cause theyre not the same is stupid like sayin blacks and whites arent the same when end the in theyre all humans, hip hop is a form of poetry eventhough its a diff form of poetry than ur text books say its poetry! stop over analiz. shit and see it in simple form, its easy its poetry!!
