20. "but do MC's want to be poets or musicians" In response to In response to 19
I say musicians because they don't really have the poetic license to do the stuff that they do in most of them raps. also poetry is really a written form (despite the spoken word movement) and rapping is a performance form. so it falls more in line with music. unless you want to go the shakespeare route and call albums plays in which MC's play numerous characters using rhyme schemes to turn a phrase or more. nah i say stick to music.
