Love him or hate him I'm rowing in with Kanye West. Mind bogglingly innovative throughout his career.

not the world's leading connoisseur of rap or even the greatest scholar on the works of kanye, but the moment his genius was truly revealed was when he named his kid "north". i'm guessing precious few understand the brilliant reference this uber creative wordsmith crafted with his art, i'd say no writer since shakespeare, and certainly none living, could have come close to the genius needed to place two such unexpected words together to entirely change not only literature, but art. *mind*-*blown*
 just to help out those who are either less educated or not in tune with the heights of kanye enlightenment, "west" (the word) is not only the last name of kanye west, it is also (it starts getting complex here) one of the four cardinal directions on the compass. here's the brilliant part, "north" it turns out is also one of the four, but put them together (brace yourself and prepare to be amazed!) and "north west" makes a whole new direction on the compass!!! AWESOME!!! |

Jay-Z for me. I'm 54 and listen to a very varied range of music from the 60's to present day but Jay-Z is the only rap artist I listen to.

Whilst Kanye is certainly visionary and creative, his shortcoming as a rapper is his actual rapping, he is clunky and awkward. I file Jay-Z in a similar category, another who has creativity but just doesn't 'sound' right.
Top dog for me is Eminem, not only terrifically creative (not so much recently but 10-15 years ago he was peerless, so much dark humour in his work), but when he raps it just flows - timing and tempo absolutely spot on. |

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3439880/You-t-real-Sarah-Silverman-leads-charge-slamming-Kanye-West-tweet-advocating-Bill-Cosby-innocent.html 'BILL COSBY INNOCENT!!!' Kanye West unleashes furious backlash after tweeting support for comedian who is accused of sexually assaulting more than 50 women Rapper made the announcement Tuesday as part of a series of tweets Comedian Sarah Silverman was among the first to come out in support of the alleged victims of Bill Cosby Some fans called upon on West to deactivate his account Earlier on Tuesday, a defamation case brought against Cosby's lawyer by model Janice Dickinson was dismissed He's the king of drumming up controversy when it counts the most, and Kanye West was it again this week, declaring that 'Bill Cosby is innocent' just two days out from the release of his new album. However the curious tweet - put up on Tuesday night as part of a series of questionable posts - may just work against the 38-year-old rapper. Within an hour, the tweet - 'BILL COSBY INNOCENT !!!!!!!!' - received 23,000 likes and over 21,000 re-tweets, however many of the responses slammed West as inappropriate and ill-founded. Leading the charge against the singer was comedian Sarah Silverman, who wrote online: 'Kanye!! You can't be for real. FIFTY WOMEN. With nothing to gain thanks to a statute of limitations ON RAPE. Oy.' |

nothing wrong with the reference, the point being prufrock was free verse, hence no set rhyme scheme (the couplet you quoted, though having ta consistent metre, does not rhyme but uses repetition as a device), as i said, eliot does not attempt a rhyme, though it would have been very easy to select one rap is more basic, it's just spoken rhyming lyrics set to a beat |

if you think it's Jay-Z, Kayne or Eminem then you need to lock yourself in a room and listen to Ready to Die and It was written until you understand that you're wrong. |

I tend to avoid the 'rap' genre given the lamentable attitudes generally displayed to women and to the courageous police officers of America.
Most of these rapping individuals would obviously benefit from a more disciplined environment, possibly serving in a military capacity, to develop some sense of civil pride and self-respect. Occasionally though a half-decent song will emerge through the endlessly negative and repetitive anti-social attitudes that are the norm. In this fine example below, we see a qualified GP named Dre taking a Manchester City replica kit wearing friend and a group of other young people out to the beach for some sort of healthy outdoor recreation, away from the ghettoes of home. A visionary and selfless gesture that will surely be of benefit to the West Coast communities. Sadly, the vehicles they travel in appear to be in need of a comprehensive service, and an up-to-date MOT certificate. Doctor Dre : 'Still Dre" . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CL6n0FJZpk |
