KNICKS POETRY SLAM - Jason Anthony Julian

Catch the show again on MSG Thursday, March 8 at 4pm - http://msgnetwork.com/tv_schedule.jsp

The 2006-07 Knicks season marked the fourth annual year of the New York Knicks Poetry Slam program. What began as an intimate gathering of just 20 students at a bookstore in Harlem during the 2003-04 season, Knicks Poetry Slam expanded to over 1,200 young poets and supporters at an open audition at the Garden this past December and brought over 500 people to the Theatre at Madison Square Garden for the Finals in January.

The New York Knicks Poetry Slam program utilizes the popularity of hip-hop and poetry to give young people a vehicle to express their thoughts, concerns, passions and dreams through the written and spoken word.

[BeatDownz911]

Good poem but it sounded more like a rap freestyle more then a poem, either way still nice.

[GENxBLINK]

@BeatDownz911 you wouldnt be saying that if he was white

[musiclover27344]

a lot of people make their poetry sound like rap or hip hop in slam poetry. but i think it just adds that much more to it. I think it sounds really good.

[Da1ene]

Rap is just poetry set to music...

[teefinyomouf]

[thehazeybaby]

poems arent supposed to sound the same;; its based on emotion. Duhh so dass why he goes high and low slow and fast. so he can emphasize it. rap freestyle is still poems regardless.
