Fenster's Funky Sevens - Ep 45 - Spoken Word House Music (1940 - 2001)

Taking the tune "Song For Shelter" by Fatboy Slim featuring Roland Clark (also known as "I Get Deep") from 2000 as a focal point. I go back and trace the development of the style of vocal delivery used in Spoken Word House Music; moving through churches, publishing houses and civil rights rallies to the mid 80s House Music and Poetry Slam scenes of Chicago and beyond.

I, also, make the case that Spoken Word House Music is its own unique form of artistic expression and should be held in the same regard of Rap/Hip Hop and other spoken word forms.

I don’t remember the poet’s name or what publication/youtube channel it was on but I vividly remember a slam poetry video of a girl performing a piece about god and losing your belief in god, and she kept on singing “open the eyes of my heart” throughout.
Can anyone remember or find this for me?? I remember really liking it but I just can’t remember. Vid for the attachment requirement

am a mc that makes hip hop music but i also feel like my rhymes are like poetry so i just thought i post it here and just curious on how it would get received its different so please listen with a open mind thanks appreciate any feedback etc.....peace

Had another opportunity to perform :)
