I saw this in a group on facebook and I was amazed that a nigerian can be this creative. I don't know him but I love this wirte up.


Dear hip hop
I still dream about you
The nights are so long and cold without you
I've searched for you in the east, west the north and south too
I'm sad cos I knew this is the shit you would amount to

Now as the tears roll out my eyes
I sit on my own in grief as I morn your demise
I see it all cos the truth is in no disguise
You are long dead and I don't know if you will ever rise

You told me that life ain't straight, its like a crane hook
Now on my face remains this very pale look
When I see kids disgracing you on facebook
At times the shit they drop can even make a snake puke

And as I'm downing this glass of white wine
I think to myself... "What if you have nine lives"
What if you came back to the world in a black spine
What if a nigga did you proud in this dark times
What if that nigga's name happens to be IYME RHYMES

And when I look at the mirror all I see is your reflection
Maybe IYME RHYMES is actually your reincarnation
Maybe IYME RHYMES is hip hop's new definition
Now the world should await your retribution
I morned your death now I celebrate your resurrection

Yours faithfully
Iyme Iyke Emmanuel Rhymes

i like that....

But haba.. The dude's still an amateur... Just rhymes. Invite him to nairaland to better his pen game

I'll try to contact him. If he thinks he is hip hop's reincarnation then I think he should prove himself here.

lmao..... Na it's a different ball game, bro....
Every rapper is like the advanced version of a poet.... As in x20
of a poet's quality...
Poets rhyme only one syllable... Have you ever seen eminem doing that?

i get you, you're trynna say every rapper that tells a story when rapping is also a poet. Naaah...

Elymax! Is this you??

Are you really the one talking like you don't know what Rap is again??

Oya see this:

Talib Kweli

Breathin in deep city breaths, sittin on
shitty steps
We stoop to new lows, hell froze the night
the city slept
The beast crept through concrete jungles
Communicatin with one another
And ghetto birds where waters fall
From the hydrants to the gutters
The beast walk the beats, but the beats we
be makin
You on the wrong side of the track, lookin
visibly shaken
Taken them plungers, plungin to death
that's painted by the numbers
With Krylon applied pressure cats is playin
God
By havin children by a lesser baby mother
but Bleep it
We played against each other like
puppets, swearin you got pull
When the only pull you got is the wool over
your eyes
Gettin knowledge in jail like a blessing in
disguise
Look in the skies for God, what you see
besides the smog
Is broken dreams flying away on the wings
of the obscene
Thoughts that people put in the air
Places where you could get murdered over
a glare
But everything is fair
It's a paradox we call reality
So keepin it real will make you casualty of
abnormal normality
Killers Born Naturally like, Mickey and
Mallory
Not knowing the ways'll get you capped
like an NBA salary
Some cats be emceeing to illustrate what
we be seeing
Hard to be a spiritual being when shit is
shakin what you believe in
For trees to grow in Brooklyn, seeds need
to be planted
I'm asking if y'all feel me and the crowd
left me stranded
My blood pressure boiled and rose, cause
New York niggas
Actin spoiled at shows, to the winners the
spoils go
I take the L, transfer to the 2, head to the
gates
New York life type trife the Roman Empire
state

Common

Black church services, murderers, Arabs
serving burgers
As cats with gold permanents, move they bags
as herbalists
The dirt isn’t just fertile, it’s people working
and earning this
The curb getters go where the cash flow and
the current is
It’s so hot that niggas burn to live
The furnace is, where the money moving, the
determined live
We talk shit, play lotto, and buy German beers
It’s so black packed with action that’s
affirmative



Please what do you call this? Didn't you see a diff between normal Rap and this?

Rap Poets are Rappers who rap deep lyrics from the conscious. They are not just Rappers or Poets, they are Deep!

You musn't rhyme one syllable to make it Poetry, it depends on the Poet's abilities.

i get what you're trynna say.... But me personally don't like referring to rappers like that as poets.... Let poets be poets! Nd rappers be rappers!

I like eminem the most. But i will never call him a poet(despite the fact that he has a wonderful story-telling ability)... Nd i doubt he also calls himself a rappoet or something....

To be sincere, i don't like poems. It bores me.. *Yawnss*!

Nd i don't know that talib kweli.
Is he a rapper?
Pls, post a link to one of his songs download....

DAvIt0:

coogar:

Eminem is a Poet, but Nas is better than him lyrically.


[eminem:]
there's a certain mystique when i speak that
you notice
cause it's sort of unique, cause you know it's
me,
my poetry is deep and i'm still mad at the way i
flow to this beat!
i can't stand still, it's like trying smoke crack
and go to sleep,
i'm strapped it's known any minute i could
snap,
i'm the equivalent of what would happen if
bush rapped
i bully these rappers so bad lyrically
it ain't even funny, i ain't even hungry, it ain't
even money
you can't pay me enough for you to play me
it's cockamanie you just ain't zany enough to
rock with shady
my noodle is cock-a-doodle, my clock's coo-coo
i got screws loose, yea the whole kitten
caboodle, i'm just brutal
it's no rumor, i'm numero uno, assume it
there's no more humor in it, no more you
know
i'm rolling with a swollen bowling ball in my
bag
you need a gay to come and tear a near hole in
my a..ss!
