J. Ivy "Never Let Me Down"

Def Poetry Jam was definetely one of my favorite shows to watch on TV. I loved the fact that bright, articulate poets were given a place to showcase and share their poetry with everyone. They also had a lot of great rappers and artist showcasing their lyrics, allowing people to look at Hip Hop in a whole new light. It's not all money, cars and hoes. Y'all might remember this particular spoken word on Kanye West album, "The College Dropout" feat Jay-Z. This part of the song grabbed my attention because this was around the time that Def Poetry Jam was on TV and i just loved how deep it was. It just a step above any kind rap. It inspired me to write poetry and express myself just like music does for all you artist out there. Check it out.
