The Original Rapper....Tupac and Biggie Took Notes from the Brother

[Dr. Sweet NUPE]

James Langston Hughes.....say what you want....the brother got lyrics. To me a poet is nothing but a rapper.

 

[MikeBigg]

Plus he's a member of the SONS of BLOOD AND THUNDER!!!!!!

I don't see the corelation. He is a poet/author true... I would think some of the protest poets of the 60's were the forerunner of modern rap. I think about the Last Poets, Nikki Giovanni, Sonya Sanchez, even Maya Angelou. Langston Hughes is more accessible to academic types in my opinion.

 

[Justin]

I see more people of the Black Arts Movement as the people they took notes from.

i see your point but i'd still take Lang over Nelly any day....
