"Oh My God" It's Poetry

"A Tribe Called Quest" is an American hip-hop group from the late 80's through to the 90's.  The group was composed of MC and producer Q-Tip, the late MC Phife Dawg and DJ and producer Ali Shaheed Muhammad.  Together these artist formed poetry through music

In the Tribes song "Oh My God" they use the poetic tool assonance through the verses. For example when Q-Tip says, "Even in Santo Domingo when I got a gringo," he repeats the sound within the same line.  This is done again in Phife Dawgs line, "Trini gladiator, anti-hesitator," using assonance to enhance the line.

The song also utilizes end rhyme. A solid example of this in the song is right in the first verse:

Listen up everybody, the bottom line
I'm a black intellect, but unrefined
With precision like a bullet, target bound
Just living like a hooker, the harlot sounds
Now when I say the harlot, you know I mean the hot
Heat of the equator, the broth that's in the pot
Jalick, Jalick ya wind up ya hip
Drafting of the poets, I'm the #7 pick

The verse uses a standard a a b b c c d d, which makes the lines appear to flow together more as well as increase the aesthetic appeal of the sounds to our ears.  To end the song the use end rhyme again when the lines:

The title MC means Master of Ceremony
Some people who MC don't know what this term means

Utilizing end rhyme in the last lines of the poem (once the music/beat has ended) leaves a resonating note on the listeners mind, and that is why "Oh M God" by A Tribe Called Quest is poetry.
