“Would
you say that my intelligence now is great relief
And
it’s safe to say that our next generation maybe could sleep
With
dreams of being a lawyer or doctor, Instead of a boy with a chopper
That
hold the cul-de-sac hostage,
Kill
them all if they gossip”
Kendrick
Lamar, daring; with ambition
Vexing
rapper of the day, on a story-telling mission
Good
kid, m.A.A.d city ß great hip-hop
Sold
200,000 copies when that album got dropped
Good
kid, dark past;
Tremendous
verses, prayers last
Accomplishments
made, eases to the beat
Excitable
star, who’s gonna knock you
off your feet
I
chose this poem because I am into hip-hop and rap music. I like Kendrick
Lamar’s style of rap at times, especially in the song “m.A.A.d city” which
tells about his life and the things that he’s faced growing up, although he’d
always wanted to be something more than what he was. I think that Kendrick Lamar's style of rap is unique and it is more like poetry. I also chose this article to do
my found poem off of because it was an article comparing and contrasting
Kendrick Lamar and Meek Mill and their two different styles of rap music. It
was hard to write this “found poem”. I struggled greatly to come up with an
ideal topic and/or what to write.it wasn’t easy to write 14 lines or less about
Meek Mill and Kendrick Lamar, so I
had to choose one and try to come up with something to say about them in poem
form.http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/29/arts/music/kendrick-lamar-and-meek-mill-rappers-with-debut-albums.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
