It doesn't lie with hip hop, though, because anything taken into the "crib" will lose its art and become another casualty of popular enjoyment. :) Don't claim something before you kill it.

To say that Spoken Word is like hip hop's cousin, tagging along...is just plain wrong. Simply put, Spoken Word is an offspring of poetry, not hip hop. If anything, Spoken Word is more aligned to Slam Poetry than hip hop. Afterall, hip hop poetry does not follow in the literary traditions of the Harlem Ren. the Black Arts Movement, the Beat Gen. like Spoken Word does. In contrast, hip hop is aligned with musical eras. Rami K needs to do a bit more homework on the history of Spoken Word. Spoken Word poetry, in contrast to the writer’s point of view, is actually another form or style of poetry.

Either way, some spoken work fits in with hip-hop but a lot doesn't. I myself am a hip-hop fan but have only done one piece in the last four years which even sounds vaguely similar to hip hop. You are speaking about a faction of the spoken word community; this is not the whole picture or even half of it.
