not too long ago i decided that i was going to randomly do a post dedicated to one of my friends so i decided this one is going to be going out to my boy kirk a 21st century poet.
DUB POETRY
for those who don't know what dub poetry here is a brief low down.
so it's a legit west indian thing which involved spoken word over some reggae rhtythms. don't get it twisted with rap music this form of poetic expression is a little more sophisticate and deep than your average soulja boy imitation of rap music. although dub poetry is sometimes performed with music it is felt at most strong when it is simpy performed without the backing music, simply expressed with the speech pronounced and accentuated with rhythm and dramatic stylization of gesture. the poet would normally be expressed in such ways with echo, reverb, dubbed spontaneously or even with the use of call and response by the audience.
so this piece was dedicated to one of my best friends who is back home in jamaica for the rest of the summer but is dearly missed, especially during the upcoming caribana weekend. i thought what a better way to dedicate something to him by letting the world a little more aware of one of his deepest passions asides his fam of course.
dedicated to my one and only poet ♥
