Problem:
Shakespeare's sonnets have stood over time as arguably some of the greatest poetry ever written. The sonnets have a particular structure that is based in meter or timing of beats per line. Consider hip hop verse, with or without music...does it have the same longevity potential? Do you think we will be reading "classical" hip-hop verse in 400 years? Which artists do you believe will endure? Which rap verses or songs do you think will be (or should be) in that canon?
