Should hip-hop lyrics be considered poetry?

On the heels of the publication of Jay-Z’s “Decoded,” K elefa Sanneh looks at the language of hip-hop and the recent campaign for respect for the genre:
“If you start in the recent past and work backward, the history of hip-hop spreads out in every direction: toward the Last Poets and Gil Scott-Heron, who declaimed poems over beats and grooves in the early seventies; toward Jamaica, where U-Roy pioneered the art of chatting and toasting over reggae records; toward the fifties radio d.j.s who used rhyming patter to seal spaces between songs; toward jazz and jive and the talking blues; toward preachers and politicians and street-corner bullshitters.”
