Nothing Like (Ode To Lupe) Poem by Kewayne Wadley

Ain't nothing like hip hop music,
Away from the news cameras & avid sayers.
Ain't nothing like hip hop music.
Traveling down the streets not seldomly taken.
The rest of the world sleep, nodding to the soft jazz loop.
The unity of feeling home.
The avenue that passes through the intersection,
A block away from not having to explain your musical choice.
Your favorite relative down the street
about to turn in the driveway.
Ain't nothing like hip hop music,
Where everywhere you've been still feels brand new,
No matter how long it's been.
From the steep steps to the cracks in the sidewalk.
No matter how much time passes,
you always notice something new.
A blend of old & new decorated with a touch of soul.
Away from the news cameras & avid sayers.
Theres nothing like real hip hop music.
A trip down your favorite block,
no matter where you are
