[jackamofina]

A momentous event on many levels. Baba for president!

[jadedcelest]

you're amazing, Baba.

[CosmicScout]

Impressive. I dig it. Like your music too. Keep it up man.

[myfanniejigglesaboot]

same old shit. spoken word shit. rhythm speaks the soul. soulless!

[zitta505]

are you kidding? have you heard brinkman's songs? they're amazing. this is just some slowed down rap so that people could follow. even this has flow if you actually listen

[myfanniejigglesaboot]

i've heard this time and time again. nice ideas. thats cool. but, you go to any open mic poetry slam, youll find the same thing. you can make a flow out of anything. poetry and its words function like a machine. it sings to you.

[Matthewkilb]

Do you go to slam events and hang around after to tell all the performers how rubbish they are?

"Poetry and its (sic) words function like a machine". Could you explain what this sentence means?

[Matthewkilb]

"Rhythm speaks the soul"

Again, can you clarify what you mean by this? I'm not trying to be facetious; I genuinely don't know what you mean!

Thanks.

Prof Simpson looked mildly amused through his composed veneer.
