I don't understand why people see rap music as contemporary poetry,
Most Hip Hop lyricism, even the best of it, is noly great because of the wordplay,l with MCs like Doom, but honestly the storytelling and emotion in hip hop is just really lacking in comparison to other genres, and sure other genres are full of weak, contrived bullshit as well, but the good examples, in my opinion, shine through brighter than any of the best hip hop examples I know of, not to say better examples aren't out there, however.
