Where Have the Poets Gone?

Focusing on 1 of the most known and respected Poets of our time had to be 'Tupac Shakur'. He rapped his life, he rapped his emotions, he rapped about situations that people are dealing with still to this day. But what separated 'Tupac' was his unique rapping style. Compared to artists such as Notorious B.I.G, 'Tupac' was poetic where as B.I.G just rhymed and made no sense, which is just like most artists of today.



The only poetic artist that has been recognised and been respected for is ‘Marshall Mathers’ also known as ‘Eminem’. He has been the only artist compared to ‘Tupac’s’ level. 50Cent was considered to be the next ‘Tupac’, because of the pain in his music, but that pain died out in his music when he started to become more commercialised and focused on other business ventures.
