“I started off with poetry. With writing poetry, in junior high and high school. And poets, I saw, were looked on as wimps. So I started turning [my] poetry into songs, and that got more attention…It is my opinion that I started to rap when I was writing poetry…Rap is poetry, to me. Storytelling, poetry…even iambic pentameter is Rap. It’s the way you write it, the structure.” Tupack Shakur
