By the pricking
of my gums
something wicked
this way comes
Open Glocks
Hip Hop knocks
with a crooked
million dollar smile
When 2Pac delivered
Shakespeare's lines
my eardrum exploded
and the stage flatlined

Thanks Sue

I do find Shakespeare To Be the hip hop / Gangster rap of his time with some of the hardest lines to hit the stage. It’s hard to find something that isn’t hard hitting and we are still talking about the poet / playwright who Died 406 years ago to day 23 April and Tupac who died from gunshot wounds on Friday September 13th 1996 at the age of 25 and who is still said to be the greatest MC. He also used Shakespeare in a song and Talked about Shakespeare being The Dude. Moreover they are both surrounded by mystery and conspiracies
