Yes

And yes. Anybody who says otherwise simply doesnt understand, hip hop is pure poetry. Its not all necessarily the mastery of the language according to academic standards but its all pure poetry with its own merit. Its a narrative

Rapping is from the Nordic style of arguing known as flyting.

This through the years was used in many cultures, the usage today came from Jamaican toasting.

Its not exclusive to nor is it the only necessary factor to make hip hop.

Rap can be poetic but it doesn't have to be
Things have gotten lost in translation over the years as people in modern times have a lot more to worry about or to distract them than older generations did, but fine arts are still very much alive and I think rap can be a great example of poetry if you look at people like Aesop Rock, milo, MF DOOM etc

since poetry is still made - no

>Not knowing what internal rhyme is
