Fact is, this corny ass nigga is a more important poet in world historic terms than any faggot, or non-faggot for that matter, we’ve yet to see in the 21st century.
infinite breast
Eh Tyler's better
>>25611368Artists like that come and go.
>>25611368Granting that lyricists can be counted as forms of lyrical poetry, genuinely in what is sense is he important? he hasnt really innovated on anything, or even popularized any particular idea or poetic style into the public consciousness. If he dies tomorrow, genuinely what will be his literary legacy outside of 'he made a lot of money'? I think you're confusing superficial mass popularity with the sort of genuine engagement and influence that guarantees one a position in the canon.
Of all the examples, you chose a poor lyricist, Travis Scott now has association to the classics.
what is this strange phenomenon of people being memed into thinking that rappers are somehow MORE poet than other lyricists/vocalists?
>>25611368drake? the child actor who was born to rich parents and decided to roleplay as an R&B artist? in a genre notorious for having a small select group of people write the lyrics to all megapopular hits? LOL
>>25612162popularity > quality
>>25612167no, but the very medium of rapping is somehow considered to be more poetic than other styles of lyricism. why? there is nothing inherent to rapping that aligns it more to poetry than any other style of lyricism. people will always say some ignorant shit like "oh its very rhythmic and relies a lot on rhyming", its like, okay, but so is other vocalization. they are also rhythmic and rely on rhyming, they just also tend to be more leaning towards melody, which is not any less or more poetic than rapping.

>>25611368Social media brain. Number of views and upvotes = importance. The only thing that matters is how much you can manipulate the minds of the masses, meaning complete idiots.The best artists and creative minds have no audience, meaning that their work is not hinged on the approval of others. Their work is the result of a personal romance and exploration with the medium. Otherwise it is mere entertainment.
>>25612202>>25612186>>25612171>>25612167>>25612164>>25612162>>25612111https://youtu.be/sIBxMdm6NSQ?is=NmvgN1EcSSRXWqZWThe art is actually infects the memory and has deep resonance in the energetic constitution of society. It is important for poet to have deep connection to the volk and to appeal to an exalted standard of taste. Your litbro ee cummings ripoff is irrelevent when compared to 6God free verse. Most of all it channels Miltonic Satanism from a standpoint of complete naivety. Rap is an organic expression of gangsterism and Jewish-Negro alliance. You can decry its amoralism but it stands at a very high level aesthetically, at least when compared to the worthless productions of middlebrow litbros and litchicks, which I fear is what some of you are
But please, please tell me who is a better or more important poet than Drake. Mary Karr? Joshua Cohen? Tony Tulathimutte? One of you anons that can’t get published? Nigga, please.
>>25612218>schizobabble
>>25612231Post your poetry for us to evaluate, anon. XD
>>25612223He is not an poet, categorically.
>>25612482Categorically schmategorically. It’s a verse form that inherently mnemotechnic. You realize poets such as Provencals used to double a musicians too?
Not music. Not poetry.
>>25611368shalom... again...
>>25612615He isn't a poet. There's nothing else to say.
>>25612705I explained to you why he was a poet. Your arbitrary definitions are meaningless. Seamus Heaney and Ted Hughes are not real poets as far as I’m concerned.
He speaks for all sensitive young Canadians... Canadian New World order incoming
>>25612869fruity little leaf actor
Judenslop
why does he act like a hard gangster when hes just a goofy lil tom & jerry character?
>>25614568All gangsters are acting the role. “Gangster authenticity” is an illusion
>>25614856That's because they've always just been ripping off 1930s Italians right down to about half their slang.
>>25612218Nigs n wigs aint volk, pseudicakes
>>25611368Drake the type of guy who praise himself in /lit/.
Everyone involved is retarded but I can't help appreciating the fact Pulitzer Prize winner (lol) Kendrick Lamar wrote a hit song about Drake being a pedo, performed it at the Superbowl, and Drake resorted to suing him and the record company. I can't think of a more brutal L than that when if comes to music.
