[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 383465, member: 1991"] I am not a fan, but I see the talent in his work. He is a poet, for sure. He is also a deep thinker and uses his work to communicate effectively on a range of valuable social issues. Of those young fans of his who pay attention to his lyrics, hopefully he is getting across some effective messages. The way a person talks when NOT performing, does not always give a sound indication of their ability as a performer and writer. When I read his work, the rhyming is not obvious; it only becomes apparent in performance. He relies on rhythm and assonance rather than full rhyme. The thing is, it works in performance. I also agree - egocentric and apparently humourless (although some of his video clips are very effectively satirical; I do fine them vicious at times in their satire, however). Not to my taste, but I have used his work in lessons on poetry. I don't think understanding him is necessarily a generational thing - I'm 55! Marg [/QUOTE]
