The Flipside
Spoken word is to poetry what battle rap is to hip hop
The free styles of openly sparring brain matter in an arena of like minds
Reaching down into banks of memory for valuable gems like that dope line you conjured a while ago but it fits this moment
Moving the crowd on one accord, like car tunes, with punch after punch as if your combinations are gut wrenching to be heard
Spoken word is hip hop
Battle rap is poetry

I'm really feeling this joint. I have much respect for spoken word artists. The first spoken piece I ever heard was Last Poets' "White Thighs" and I never forgot that moment. Listening to Loaded Lux vs Calicoe also made an indelible impression on me. Well stated thoughts, G.Moore
