OK Amish Dude,

You win! My counterpoint sent you reeling off on an unrelated tangent, totally out of context of the original spirit of the conversation. So what is the use of responding? But here it goes, just in case you have time to check back on the original thread.

I did not accuse you of plagarizing Tennyson, but merely asked if you were going to plagarize Shakespeare in pursuit of the perfect rap song.

Someone on the original thread, speaking of writing rap music and Eminem in particular said "Any "sh*the@d" can do it". I merely responded that if it was so easy, then try it. Then you came out of orbit with a Tennyson quote and said that you could turn it into a rap song in 2 minutes. I don't think that Eminem has based any of his work on any classic Tennyson poems, and in fact, I am quite sure all his stuff is original, so my challenge to the statement that "any sh*thead can do it" still stands. Why haven't you spent your time creating an original five stanza rap song with a catchy sound and beat instead of searching through old high school literature books

On a final note, at no point in my writing did I once try to define "sh*the@d", so what was that all about? I took it to mean just "any 'ol body". How does three possible definitions help us determine if "just any 'ol body" can write rap music like Eminem??

The thread had veered elsewhere since you'd left.

Liar!: Are you going to plagarize Shakespeare and call it "2 minute" rap??

Well, apparently Tennyson and Shakespeare don't apply. Who does? Frost? cummings? Or do we have to eliminate all actual poets or anyone that can write poetry until we get a pool of people in which rappers are the cream?

Sounds like a bunch of sh!the@ds to me.

Makes him think he's got a d!ck
Well, I say

I'll let you know later where to send the Grammy.
