>>11315514rap is definitely *music not poetry. if you needed to extrapolate your "poetry and rap" idea, then clearly the conclusion is that black gangsta chads of the 80's and 90's concluded that poetry was too faggy so they decided to turn their poetry into music (further extrapolation: because most of their lyricists couldn't sing or do actual music so they retrofitted their poetry onto a musical form using turntables and drum machines [even further extrapolation: therefore this implies that rap is for poorly-educated wannabe musicians who never acquired musical talent, and thus applied their third-grade level "poetry" techniques, i.e. making nursery-school rhymes, to something they could pawn off as "music"])
