Me ear dis an wan tear up. Im is a REAL lyrical gangsta. Im words mek a braddah feel some type a way. Im is a master fe mek de riddim wit de rhyme. 3:24
I hear him talkin' about his style of poetry. With all his Jamaican heritage, his culture and his experiences, he would come from his world view 'if he were a top notch poet.' He'd keep it real, but simple, he'd challenge white oppression and speak of liberating the captive.
The poet uses this poem as a means of paying tribute to Caribbean authors and African political figures. He uses this poem to allude to the fact that the figures which he mentioned are experts in their fields, even though they may not have gained the notoriety of their European counterparts. He likewise uses this poem in defence of dubstep poetry. By , “If I were a top notch poet,” he is implying that as a dubstep poet, he is not a skilled poet. However, the poetry which he has composed is indeed the work of a “Top Notch Poet”, due to its effective usage of comparison and similes.
Lives on my road in Brixton nice fella.

Me ear dis an wan tear up. Im is a REAL lyrical gangsta. Im words mek a braddah feel some type a way. Im is a master fe mek de riddim wit de rhyme. 3:24
