What's the difference between poetry, poetry slams, and rap music?

answers3: hard thing. search on yahoo and bing. that might help!
answers4: no, poetry has the "benefeit" of not being conducive to a
traditional "beat" and also not having an emphasis on the voice
sounding "musical". <br>
<br>
poetry also can have limited verses that would be far too short for a
song (m.ali - "my wet pet" <end>). <br>
<br>
there's no doubt that some rap music is "poetic", but there's a big
difference between commercial music and "poetry", most usually in
substance.
answers5: well i just learned about this in english and raps got to a
beat and poetry can be formal and doesn't have to rhyme but there is
also ballad poems that kinda go to a beat. <br>
<br>
i hope that helped :)
answers6: Pretty much. Aside from some newer mainstream hip-hop (in my
opinion) I think pretty much all rapping is, is a rapper talking about
his feelings but rhyming his words and making it sound cool.
answers7: tricky stuff. lookup into search engines like google. this can help!
