Well i wasn't sure where to post this as i saw in the poetry sub-forum it mostly serves it's purpose as an archive not a place of discussion, so i'm making this thread here.
I'm a huge fan of def jam poetry because there are a LOT of great poets in this group and their ways are a bit less then traditional as majority of them are from an urban background. A lot of them come from a place where stereo typically people are looked down upon and are considered "lesser beings". I said stereo typically because that is not always the case, that i know.
Here is a favorite of mine that i want to share with everyone and i encourage comments as well as posts of others' favorites. :]

Side Note: Please, if you're not a fan, just don't like the way these people are, or have some kind of criticism please keep it either to yourself or to an educated minimum.
