Beats are too fast and complicated to simply arrange old verse over it. Rap is prosodic but it's different from dramatic verse lol.

Blacks can't actually appreciate or create poetry. Beats and straight rhymes. That's what their pongid brains can comprehend.

The reason it is disliked is because it is degenerate. As someone else has pointed out in here, rap music is rather primitive when compared to the likes of Shakepeare.

...but why?
All she's doing here is forcing the rhythm of Shakespeare's writing conform to the simple and unyielding rap strictures.

You can make a flower grow in a tube, too.
But why would you?

In this case, she seems to be trying to entice black youth to find Shakespeare interesting.
This opens her up to accusations of dumbing it down but if the rap connection is just the hook to reel in the students so they can being to explore Shakespeare, good for her.

If her goal is just to "rap-ify" Shakespeare, then it'll go nowhere.
But I doubt that, I imagine she wants to show kids the brilliance of Shakespeare, not just dumb it down.
