No, of course not. So, at it’s best, my argument is that Rap is a crude, very crude, version of poetry. After all, the words, even if some of them are made-up, rhyme. And as a side note, yes, poetry should rhyme. If it doesn’t rhyme, it’s just story-telling.

Just curious if the guy playing the bongos in the coffee house without the poet is playing music?
If yes, why is it no longer music when vocals are added?
