  • Cheers for everyone's comments- interesting reading people's observations on slam vs. rap etc.This was many years ago when I had only just got into slam poetry and was learning about the form, having been solely an MC before that. Check out my more recent work for a more accurate representation of what I'm about. Respect, Omar

  • Slam Poetry is more monologue sounding, like a speech with flow, alliteration and occasional rhymes; hence the term SPOKEN WORD. If the focus is all on the tempo and having stanzas with equal syllables, then it's RAP (coughthisguycough)

  • @DustyLeviCalcote17 personally i think that slam poetry cadence is wack, i prefer this style

  • Slam means competition you dorks, so yes this is a poem he wrote for the Poetry SLAM..therefore it's slam poetry. Go Omar!!

  • What is wrong with you guys!!

    Of course this is SLAM Poetry.

    Yeah there is a difference between Rap and Slam and its obvious YOU dont know what it is.
