The Ws in Spoken Word.

What makes a good spoken word artist?
Why are inner city kids better than small town kids at spoken word?
Why does spoken word remain underground?
What makes an individual want to do spoken word?
What are the motives behind poetry?
Who has the right to spoken word?

These are some of the many question I aim to answer in my quest underground, to the world of dope lyrics; meaningful messages; activism and individually obtained power. I plan to first become a part of iSpeak: Wheaton College's own spoken word group. I hope to gain knowledge on their past experiences and live their present; hopping that they'll take me to the next step in my research.
