Rhythm and poetry my ass. More like repetative and profane. I fail to see the poetry in constantly talking about banging women, smoking pot, dealing drugs and gang life. That's one thing I feel is admirable about death metal over rap. Even though it's all fictional and about violence (in its own way), you talk to any of the people in real life and they're normal people with normal lives. Most of them just do that because they want to, but all the interviews and what not I've seen with a rap artist and they're all trying to live up to this hardcore dangerous image. At one point rap may have been rhythm and poetry, but now it's all image based and centered around money.
