This isn't a bad thing. Many of them are dope, but like I said not to many distinguishing characteristics (on some)..

So, am just curious.

I will be reading more of these.

I'm probably the guy who you should listen to the least, but my take it simple. I have competed in many topical battles and leagues over the past decade, but just about every battle I have taken place in, while voting someone will mention my poetical voice or cadence or something of that nature. I stayed early 2000's, God that just put shit I'm perspective, fml, anyways... Basically when I write a poem I am writing natural because I consider my verses in the aowl to be more poetry in the first place. So the answer, for me at least is there is zero difference. Again, I'm sure if everyone you answered except for maybe inno or patrown, I consider them poets first to, you will get different answers.
