Shakespeare rap

I recently thought of Shakespeare when I read this in the PT Umphress review of R. Kelly’s fabulous “Trapped in the Closet”:

As though a movie about everybody cheating on everybody else in the most tangled and bizarre romantic web imaginable (and all of them finding out about it on the same day) wasn’t enough, Mr. Kelly decided to up the ante by playing every wild card in the deck.

And now there’s the “Top Ten Shakespeare / Hip-Hop Analogues “ at Stylus Magazine.

All that may be going a bit too far, but it is fair to ask who these days is having the most fun with spoken language, and who is delighting in / wallowing in all our messy humaness.
