I was wondering, what does everyone think about musicians as poets. The lyrics they write, is it just another kind of poetry? I was just thinking, because in every genre I've noticed some brilliant 'poeticness'.
From rap, (lil wayne) -
"flow sick put a straight jacket on my words , so sick they think that somethings in the herb, they think I'm gone but i am fine like a womans curves"/
'I said I do, but I really don't,
Because it's you that I really want,
and we can do what you really want,
Girl we grown,
and if he ain't gon' treat you right,
Then I ain't gon' treat you wrong,
thats my word, she heard so many lies
she don't know what's true or not,
Shawty like a vallet service, I said she been through a lot,
But I put her car in park and never let her cry alone,
I listen to her heart beat because it plays my favorite song.'
To rock, (Kings of leon)-
'I never ever cried when I was feeling down
I've always been scared of the sound,
Jesus don't love, me no-one ever carried my load
I'm too young to feel this old.'
What are your thoughts on this?
