Expression.

Andre 3000 is the most talented rapper alive.  It's an opinion, but a fact to me.  lol.  Anyways, as dope as he is, and as much as I love Hip Hop, there are Spoken  Word artists that just annihilate him.  I go to "Da Poetry Lounge" quite often, and it has opened me up to a completely new realm of expression.  One good piece of spoken word performed live can change your life.  And it makes any Hip Hop (live or on wax) just seem to not cut it. I wrote something basically along these same lines, I'll record it soon and put it on Youtube.  As far as my favorite spoken word artists, I couldn't tell you. It'd be too difficult.

This is a poem by Rudy Francisco (DOPE POET) called "Time Machine".




Here is another AMAZING poet named Taalam Acey. You should definitely cop some of his stuff. I have his Market 4 Change album and it blows my mind. lol. This poem is called " True Lies".



And to cap off this post, here is Javon Johnson performing a piece about Obama. He's on point in this one. I love the end. Are you blindly supporting a candidate just because he looks like you???




I know I said that was gonna cap things off, but I felt the need to also post this one. Here is a younger poet named B Yung performing "I am a Queen". It's dognuts. lmao (poetry lounge insider)
