Eminem

Lyrical 

Grandmaster

He spits
the most

detailed
poetically ill

perceived

concepts

Sweat profusely

runs down

his furrowed face
as his speech

increases

velocity
he

Opens
his
chest
on stage

and

Exposes ventricles
that flow with

descriptive words
thru pumping

rhythmical contractions
in purposefully

well articulated increments

and

Now

Hidden parts of him

are revealed

to be possessed

Cardiac arrest

D-A-A-A-M-N

This Rapper Poet's Blessed!

He speaks

profound messages

that force open third eye

Daring them to see

The innermost workings

of his soul rhymes

This
he does

So
willingly

Because
he shines

As he
dominates

open mic

Spitting verses

intellectually integrated

on the tip of his

tongue

He

Commands Attention

Evokes fragments

of wisdom to come together

and

Thru

The mass

subjugation

of consciousness

He reaches out

to grab minds

Once closed

to the notion

That a

Rapper

Poet can

Miraculously elevates

the status of truth

To instant recognition

Just by his rendition

of

The Spoken Diction

By Samantha Campbell

Author's Note

Just a dedication to one of my favorite artists

Forget his money
Forget his fame
you can even forget his hotness
I'm enamored with his mind and genius talent

Ive never been to a concert but given the chance Eminem's would definitely be my first

always editing and adding new lines to this

I dont like the ending that much

'Rapper Poet' should be hyphenated (rapper-poet). Aside from that, I liked the formatting once I understood that it was meant to convey the lyrical style. I am all for creating your own rules if they work well, and this worked well. The subject matter is interesting, content is good, flow is top-notch. All around there is not much to complain about in this piece, great job!

he is a talented soul and a fighter he came from no where to the top of the heap

Let me just say, Eminem is the love of my poetic life. Genius is an understatement. Rap God fits perfectly. I love him soooooooooooo much. As well as this poem. It's always nice to connect with someone who can appreciate his work!

[NoelHC]

Well done Sam, his comments about social conditions reveal a soul that much other rap fails to touch, or else glorifies misogyny or violence. You have written an excellent tribute here, I was hearing it in Eminem's voice.

I've never been a huge fan of rap, but Eminem is a special exception. The man is very talented, I cannot deny that. An excellent tribute to him. Nice work.

This is fantastic! The flow and tone of this makes it a breeze to read and of course the subject matter is very relatable. The guy is unmatched an so are you. Great piece!

[Meraki]

I absolutely agree with this, he's by far one of my favorites. His mind and the way he can put things into words it's genius. This is a nice tribute to him :)
