Rap is poetry to music, like beatniks without beards and bongos.

Music is like girlfriends to me; I'm continually astonished by the choices other people make.

You want a hero in the music world? James Brown. He brought a feeling to music without really using words. He's just famous for his sound.

A poet's mission is to make words do more work than they normally do, to make them work on more than one level.

No, I can't do rap music!

Will be but corpses dressed in frocks,
who cannot speak to birds or rocks.
