Theme: Getting
Cheated out of being the best rapper in the game right now
Title: Good Kid Mad City
Kenderick Lamar is the best rapper in the rap game
Because he likes to tame rappers who like play the blame
game
Like some of these rappers who stole his Grammy award
Some people say he is a coward
I say he just spits straight fire when he spits
But why did not people think his album was not a hit
Kenderick killed it in the song Control
He destroyed the rap game as a whole
Nominated three times
Maybe he did win it in because he was not in his prime
Well it’s guess not crime
To play the blame game I say he might have not won it
because he was from Compton
Or maybe it was
because he was not even the best option
I like how you rearranged the poem and made it relevant to what is going on in Kenderick Lamar's life right now. I also enjoyed reading this post because I already know somewhat the things being discussed or criticized about Kenderick Lamar. You also did a good job showing your opinion on some other rappers not deserving the award in Kenderick Lamar's place. At the end I like how you slowly change your original statement that maybe he is in fact not the best rapper currently, but I felt you were also saying that he still has the potential to be the best.
ReplyDeleteI like this poem because it is so relevant to whats going on. I feel like that's why I enjoy it because I know who they are talking about and the dilemma so I feel like it can keep my attention more. I like how in the beginning you really built him up to seem like you thought he really deserved it. You talked about how he liked to prove other rappers wrong by showing them that he is better than they think. Then later on in the poem you talk about how you might not even think he is worth it. I think that you writing your poem like this really is interesting and a good way to make people really think afterwards about what you meant.
ReplyDeleteVivek,
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about your sources here. What are they? They aren't listed. I like how you capture the friction around this event, and enjoyed how you created a rhyme scheme---lending music to a found poem about someone in the music industry. The fact the you aren't one sided in how you present the controversy also makes this poem feel more objective.
