Ha. I got so sick of reading my friends' poetry during middle/high school that I thought I just hated poetry. tbh it probably wasn't that bad.

I know he's more of a joke now but he's made a successful career out of it. He was actually a child prodigy growing up. He was a polymath who taught himself how to successfully play 15 instruments including piano, drums, guitar, trombone and the French horn by 11th grade. He could learn a song by just listening to it. He also attended culinary school. I mean, I get he's a clown but it's not as ridiculous at it might sound that he's talking about poetry...he wrote most of the music for PE. When he was going through his drug issues, his fellow bandmembers said they couldn't get rid of him because he was the only one who could create and write the music that would sell.

Damn I had no idea about this from Flav that’s awesome

[akillarian]

Darn, I'm so impressed. I wonder if he has the perfect pitch. People who can recognize musical notes from a song from just hearing it once.

[therearewords]

Whut the huck.
