RAP. The first thing you will learn from this book is that the word RAP in the music genre means Rhythm and Poetry. Today, in its full capacity, it's a lost art form. In a world of legendary urban street poets and great rappers like NAS, DMX, Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, and 2Pac. Lyrics in Rap/Hip Hop songs in mainstream media today have been dumbed down to pure ignorance, negative vibrational perceptional self-talk, and mumbo jumbo. One has to ask themselves whether this is the evolution of the genre or on purpose. Purposely done to program the minds of the youth? The power of words is as true as water is wet. Words cast spells for those who bear witness to the magic in speech. Unlike Rap/Hip Hop in the past, we had a balance with rap groups like Public Enemy, A Tribe Called Quest, and X-Clan to the street ballots of the '90s with Mobb Deep, CNN, Snoop Dogg, and Wu-Tang Clan. Most of today's rap lyrics lack substance, influential positive energy, and sustenance for the listener. This does the listener a great injustice and robs them of the power of words. When in the beginning, there was only the word, and the word was with the GODs.
What makes up a true rap song is rhythm and poetry. A marriage that cannot be denied as perfect matrimony. Rap as an art form must be balanced with these two ingredients for it to truly be a RAP song by definition. This book highlights the importance of rap lyrics having meaning. Conveying a message to teach, reach, or repel any person, place, experience, or idea in the listener's mind. May these poems give the reader what they are missing in RAP music today. The power of words. Hearing the words to a song has a totally different effect than reading the words to a song.
These poems are meant for you to read with an open mind but it may not be for the narrow-minded, bougie, faint and/or, in some cases, parental discretion may be advised
