A Poet's Words

One of my favorite quotes comes from William Wordsworth: "Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings."
However, another quote from one of my favorite actors comes from Will Smith, "I'm a poet, so I own the whole rap industry."
Now, I'm pretty sure if Smith were to look at these two quotes he'd go, "Oh hell no!"
Of course, he says that to just about everything--seriously, watch one of his movies. Anyhow, I feel that Wordsworth was correct--back then. His words fall flat when you look at the modern evolution of poetry--rap. There is nothing spontaneous or 'feely' with singing about popping caps in peoples asses, smoking drogs, or screwing hookers. Rap is an embarrassment to poetry. Yes, there are some artists who do it justice, but the good are outweighed by the bad.
As for Will Smith owning "the whole rap industry," I say naw--his rap ain't the greatest.
