its impressive and all but its kinda...simple?

*rap*
the only reason its impressive is cuz hes philosophical,
he tells that life is an obstacle, and that evolution is unstoppable. i use big words to write these rhymes, that makes your head explode it should be a crime, im sublime.

then maybe ill throw in something about wind chimes? :)

if i were to practice that a little and recite it quickly does that make me a rapper?

I literally almost ROFLed wen i saw hairy`s comment, just because its a black guy rhyming doesn`t make it rap. Plus its call Def POETRY slam as in poems, and yes almost all singing and rapping is people reciting poetry in different ways.

@Hairy: If I take the same words, and scream it out at the top of my lungs, will it make me a rockstar?

if you sing it in key with the song then yes... then it depends if the general public will like the sound and tone of your voice.

When a poet uses a rhythmic verbal presentation of poetry WITH wordplay it is called RAP. Beat or no beat. Most of what you listen to today would be considered MCing using the traditional chorus format. I can see how confused people have become on what rap really is since the new shit is all sampled.

So technically yes, HairyAnimal...though usually a rapper is considered a lyrical elite, if you follow the rules you`ll be rapping but if not, it`s called some other type of music. Either way I hate to argue it`s just retarded that people think this isn`t rap...welcome to the roots of rapping...
