Spoken Word Rap
I was wondering if there's such a thing as spoken word rap. What I'm looking for is spoken word with a sense of rap, not pure poetry or pure rap. Something like "Sage Francis - Waterline" or "Saul Williams - Talk to Strangers". Any artist/song suggestions would be appreciated...

Yes. Although it's all done acapella (no beat/music) as far as I know. And all the artists I know are british so you probably won't like any of them but feel free to give these people a try anyway;
polarbear Kate Tempest - teens speech by the way, I do know of one guy you might enjoy(american) and he some times uses beats;

You might want to check out The Last Poets. They predate Hip-Hop by a few years, but I would bet probably had a lot of influence on it. I would recommend checking out their song "When The Revolution Comes." I would post a youtube link but I haven't reached my 15 posts yet.

James Brown 'rapped' but they called it vamping...Chuck Brown rapped but they called i 'go-go'...Last Poets as mentioned and Watts Prophets...plus a whole slew of (to me) watered down trip hop / spoken word circa the 'poetry slam' era of late 1990's... |
