Straight Addiction

For the last month I have been completely addicted to Def Poetry Jam on Youtube...yeah I know I'm late because Def Poetry Jam went off the air in like 2006.The reason I started watching was because Shihan, an AMAZING POET, was coming to my school. So I started listening to him and then other Def Jam Poets and before I knew it was hooked. From Shihan to Poemcees to Sista Queen to Dana Gilmore....all wonderful poets that I had never heard of until April. Def Poetry Jam was such a wonderful place for poets to have their work heard by such a large audience....I think it should come back on the air, I mean with all the crappy shows that come on today. We need something that will stimulate our minds.



*You should go check out those poets on youtube.....amazing. * Here are some links to get you started on the Def Poetry Jam venture.
