Wesley is right

Wesley mentioned today that Kanye West is proof that poetry is alive and well in the twenty-first century.

A lot of older folk don't like rap music, but what is rap music if not poetry? It's like spoken word to a beat. If rap were written - and more to the point, if rap weren't spoken by black people - a lot of people who don't like rap might appreciate the art behind it.

Funny how the medium can make the difference.

Again, credit to Wesley for the insight.
