Justin: The lyrics to Triumph by Wu-Tang clan. I question whether these lyrics are totally correct . I hate to sound like a mincing Turner Prize lover, but this track is one of the most impressive pieces of relevant poetry I have ever heard. "I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies
and hypothesis can't define how I be droppin these
mockeries, lyrically perform armed robbery
Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me" You might need to hear the song itself. Download it from your prefered p2p program or buy it here,
adam:
Didn't the Poet Laureate say something along the lines of "Rap is a form of poetry", and compare it with some of the great poets. Tatu are interesting to listen to in their native Russian, as their lyrics are, at times, very rhythmic and percussive.
