poetry+and+rap

Poetry is an art of performance, although it may not rely on the delivery as much as rap, a good poet grasps the rhythm of a particular poem, and allows it to flow during the reading. Strong artists generate rhythm through inflection: Snoop Dogg, Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Eminem, are good examples. A good poet has a strong sense of the pacing of their poetry, and will choose words that preserve and enhance a consistent style. Good rap and poetry incorporate metaphor and simile to create imagery for different effects. Comparing the use of metaphor and simile show's how artists use these literary devices to add life to their music.
