Lowkey:
- There are certain structures that make rap work and oppression is often an inspiration for great art.
- We recognise forms because artists using them follow certain rules
- It’s important to recognise forms like rap because you speak into a tradition
- Art forms are often inspired by wanting to change something, so pushing against the limits of things as they are
