I don't think of my prose for the
most part as traditional literature. My writing style, my unconscious writing
style would appeal to hip-hoppers. Poets and freestyle lyricists of the hip hop
world, in the same way the Beastie Boys lyrics and lyric sheets on the albums
and the Beat Movement of the 60s did. My teachers in high school always used to
go on and on about how my words "have a certain flow" to them. And
while I'm a terrible rapper, I'm a pretty good non-musical written word
lyricist. I do listen to my share of rap, rap-metal, nu-metal, hip-hop, and
progressive hip-hop.
I've checked out the websites and
mp3s of Richie Branson and MC Chris. I think those nerdcore cats are onto
something here.
But I'm also big on Busta Rhymes,
Eminem, Bloodhound Gang, and the Beastie Boys, as well as my man, Jack Kerouac.
I guess my words and rants do kind of have a hip-hop drum n' bass lyrical beat
generation vibe to them, considering I write essays, poems, journals, along
with scripts and fiction. Word flow is
very important to me though.
