slam poetry is actually probably one of the few contemporary forms of poetry that is true to its oral roots. hip hop is more rigid, a slave to the beat and its emphasis on flow than orality or content. it's gimmicks are wholy based on edginess: digs and jabs at others. slam poetry is pretty good if you're not a poltard

Is slam poetry just performed poetry? Isn't that basically rap? Where's the distinction?

It seems like slam poetry is mostly just shitty un-rhymed rap, which ends up looking the same as shitty unrhymed poetry.

I've seen some good poetry performances. Think of it as a one man play with a poem for the dialogue. Unfortunately most of it is SJW shit.

In general OP, there's no doubt that rap has more artistic merit. There's a lot of garbage, obviously, like in any form of art, but at it's best it's a great meeting point between verbal storytelling and music. Again, unfortunately what usually happens is SJWs, professors and bloggers alike, go around saying "2pac is literally poetry XDDD, Shakespeare would have been a rapper XDDD". And on the other side, pretentious faggots don't recognize the artistic significance of rap because it doesn't have all the ideological bells and whistles that make them feel so intellectual.

And no, I'm not saying "this is real rap, not about money and drugs XDD". I'm saying there are examples of rappers who clearly have strong linguistic and narrative abilities, and I don't really see how anyone can deny that.

I've never listened to slam poetry. I see no reason that, if it's done well, it wouldn't be good. Some hip hop is really good.

So I would say good slam poetry and good hip hop probably have equal artistic merit, and the shittier examples have less.

Slam poetry has no ambiguity and no mystery to it. It does all of your thinking for you.

It is literally a trumped-up monologue that people like to assign the title "poem" to because they feel that it lends some artistic gravitas to it.

You will also find that most of the people who love this shit have very little interest in poetry on the whole. Their interests where the poetic is concerned are political and they see poetry merely as a fitting stage to express this. Which is why so many of them come across as hyper-politicized sycophants. The medium itself is a lesser concern to them. They're interested in "slam poetry" simply because it's modish right now.

Nothing about it is poetic because nothing about it has any due concern for ambiguity. It's all didactic showmanship. That's it. I'm not even exaggerating here. If you don't believe me watch a few of them with this in mind. They actually try to do your thinking for you.

This shit is literally the worst. None of it is poetic. It's all boorish monologuing. Seriously. Avoid it.

Michael Cirelli is great. Then again, I'm not sure how you guys are defining slam poetry. I don't love the idea of poetry slam "competitions," but there are some poets that give greater consideration to how their poems "perform," and some poets take inspiration from hip-hop rhyme schemes/language/etc. I wouldn't call Cirelli a slam poet, though he does mentor teen slam poets. I'd call him a poet who happens to be inspired by hip-hop and puts on a fantastic reading.

There is a difference. Hip-hop is music. It knows exactly what it is and is evinced through the form.

Slam poetry is a glorified monologue pretending that it's anything but.

-published in Best American Poetry, New York Quarterly, Texas Review, etc, etc.

Though I'm not a fan, hip hop is significantly better. Neither of them have any thing interesting to say though.

From what I've seen so far slam poetry is basically just a short, out-of-context, somewhat musically/theatrically executed rant.

slam poetry is more of the "slam" when the fat whale performing falls over on the stage than the "poetry" the whale speaks, if you can even call it that

While far from being poetic, I do have to admit George Watsky can do some impressive things with words, hence with the medium of spoken work.

He seems to be a rapper and a slam poet, I never really heared him mentioned in any rap discussion though, so I figured he isn't famous outside of the american slam scene.

Hip-hop. Before the pirate party and free culture of today, hip-hoppers were on the frontier.

But slam poetry isn't bad. I think it's an important element of poetry reclaimed, the oral element. In many ways hip-hop and slam poetry are interrelated, many artists straddle the line.
