Man, there was a dude in downtown Baltimore who would follow people around and rap about them (for money of course, but whatever).

Saw him a few times, and he was hilarious and quite intelligent. Rhymed well too.

Don't know if he ever became a real rapper, perhaps he didn't want to. All I know is that his critical thinking and improv skills were quite amazing, and as somebody who likes words and language, even his vocabulary was impressive.

Maybe rap isn't really music...it's just poetry in motion.
