“It’s five minutes of fame,” said one of the students.
Def Jam is poetry in spoken word. It allows one to verbally let out his feelings in the artistic form of poetry.
In the states, Def Poetry Jam presents performances by established spoken word poets, as well as up-and-coming ones.
Well-known actors and musicians will often surprise the audience by showing up to recite their own original poems.
Def Jam is also heavily associated with the “poetry slam movement” which is dedicated to expanding the competitive art of performance poetry.
