The original heart is even better though. Kendrick is this generations greatest poet. Many of us don’t even realize how good at poetry he really is. If you were to ask Edgar Allen Poe to rap on rhythm he would likely struggle. As would Robert frost or Walt Whitman. We often don’t give credit to just how talented the great rappers like Kendrick, cole, or JID really are.

Poe and Whitman weren’t trying to do what rappers do. But I still agree with your point.

Oh totally. I could have expressed that with much details and less broad statements. Was just a bit tired when I wrote it.
