Very possible. My father (who wouldn’t appreciate being called "ancient" but here we are 😄) has often said that modern rappers have nothing on the "beat poets" he used to go to hear in the 1950s. And even my generation had The Last Poets and Gil Scott-Heron.

@bijouxbroussard So cool!! Your dad rocks. Some assumed perhaps my question was in jest...but not only possible, but quite plausible.
