I've been listening to rap music for the past day or so (specifically, Aesop Rock, check "None Shall Pass" out on YouTube, they're pretty good with the attention to assonance and rhythm in use of lyrics, which is what I look for in rap. If it doesn't pay attention to poetic devices I don't muchsee the point.) because it is cathartic and soothes my weary brow, I don't know why. Sometimes I can even get more work done while listening to it.
But I'm wondering, is there any Shakespeare commentary type rap out there? I would so listen to it, if there were.
If you think I'm just being weird, look at it this way: any mainstream rapper who can rap about bitches-n-hos and starting some violence can DEFINITELY manage a Hamlet POV. Just sayin'.
In other news, my life continues to explode. To-do lists are supposed to get shorter when you cross things off. LOL.
