Information on the Rapper
Edgar Allan Poe (born Edgar Poe; January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American author, poet, editor, and literary critic, considered a part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story, and is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.

Poe and his works influenced literature in the United States and around the world, as well as in specialized fields, such as cosmology and cryptography. Poe and his work appear throughout popular culture in literature, music, films and television. A number of his homes are dedicated museums today. The Mystery Writers of America present an annual award known as the Edgar Award for distinguished work in the mystery genre.

Poe was famous for his many poems and short stories, such as The Raven, Tell Tale Heart, The Black Cat, and more.

Verse 1:
Once upon a midnight dreary, as I spit this weak and weary

I will choke this joker with a trochee 'til his cheeks are teary (AHH!)

But y'all don't hear me, all should fear me!

I'll forever be better, you'll never be near me,

Your books are as eerie as Beverly Cleary!

You're a foul Bram Stoker, so scram, the show's over

Your flow's so-so, Poe's poems pwn posers!

I wrote 'em locked in a cave, while I sobbed in a rage

The Tell-Tale Heart beat soft in his grave

While this jerk just beats off on a page!

Verse 2:
Stephen, you pretend to do what I've been really living through

of misery and poverty and family woes

I see through you like pantyhose, do Chappelle and Simpson cameos (ahh!)

Even if you're gripping on a weapon then you better get it stepping if you're messing with the horror lord

In a minute maybe, I'mma hit him, cut him into itty bitty bits and I'mma stick em in the floorboards!
