Rap is Not a Sport
from Rhyme Masters Journal Hosted by Desmond Spann
Rap is not a sport. Poetry is not a sport. Storytelling is not a sport. Competitions can be useful. They raise the stakes, bring people together, and give the audience a clear reason to care. Somebody wins, somebody loses, and that creates a story around the art. But the competition is just the format. The real goal is not only technical skill. You can have flawless rhymes, rhythm, cadence, and schemes, and still not move anybody. At the end of the day, rap has to make people feel something.
