Def Jam Poetry

In one of my writing classes we listened to some Def Jam poetry and I really got into it, and the stuff is so interesting and some of the poets' wordplay is ridiculous. So here are some of my favorites:

Shihan: "Love Like"

Perre Shelton: Dandelion

Rafael Casel- he is probably my favorite I have found so far
"Abortion" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbm_L9h50Ok
"Ken and Barbie 101" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGsTfCL1Joc&feature=related

I hope you enjoy and I am open to suggestions of other poetry (of any kind)!
