comment towards slick rick video

this video is to bring us back to the times when rap music or hip hop use to be a minature movie that had a story line and sense of humor, but now in 2008 its all about hooks and dance moves such as "superman", "spiderman", "walk it out",and the most funny of them all is "chicken noddle soup with a soda on a side". Who makes up a dance relating to soup and soda lol its just funny to me. but listen and watch the video and compare it to rap video now and see which one portrays more of a story.

She sleeps while holding her bear everynight
started off holding a blanket that was given to her by her mother at the tender age of 5
That blanket is gone, her brother took scissors and made little people out of it
he woke up the next morning bald, and till this day he would ask her who did it but she doesn't know
maybe she will remember when she gets her blanket back
The nights would be to dark so she runs into her mothers room and holds on to her while taking in the vanilla scent on her clothing and sheets
She would hold onto a bible when her mom would go to the hospital, waiting in the dinning room for her mother to walk through the door as she looks at the picture of "the last supper" hung above the table.
She would hold on to her faith when her mother went into a coma laying on the hospital bed with tubes coming out of her throat and mouth, a machine was her life line
She held on to her mothers hands when she opened her eyes for the last time after six months in a coma, she smiled and little does she know that her mother just told her goodbye
She couldn't hold on to her tears when the call came at 2 in the morning that her mother died, it was raining that night so she believed that god was crying to.
She couldnt hold herself up so she dropped to her knees screaming "no"
She held on to a picture of her mother and saw a completely different woman in the casket.
She held on to her heart as she watched her mother go down 6 feet deep into the ground in a cemetery in queens, surrounded by strangers that she will soon play dominoes with and make fun of the stupid yet adorable things their kids did.
Thinking of the vanilla scent on her clothes and sheets, she sleeps while holding onto a bear everynight.

this poem is a conversation with one person in the form of two individuals, "the nerd" and " the nigga", there was a sense of humor in this piece that had the crowd laughing, and also a form of stereotype of how a "nerd" acts and speak, and how a so called "nigga" speaks. You would assume there is rage in this piece but it really power and strength in the voice, portraying the way an ideal man should be in life which is strong. once again listenin carefully and enjoy
the video that u see is a youtube of a very talented man reciting a poem called "i apologize". the tone in this poem is anger and rage and you can tell from his gesture and as his voices rises at certain points of the poem also known as the climax in writing and literature in general. Its weird that this man is apologizing for things he cnt control such as being black. Listen well and carefully it brings a message, enjoy.
