Shakespeare's hard. But Rap-Notes: Shakespeare's Greatest Hits (vol 2) is easy. Easy to listen to (because the beats are hypnotic and the rappers are awesome) and easy to understand (because the raps tell the story of five of Shakespeare's most famous plays (and the ones most taught in high schools). Even before Homer wrote the Iliad and the Odyssey, stories were passed down orally because of the nature of rhymes. People could learn thousands of lines of poetry because each line led to the next with a rhyming word. That's why Rap-Notes:Shakespeare's Greatest Hits is also a great way to learn the stories of Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, Romeo & Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream. Teachers and students are both saying "Rap-Notes" is pretty cool. We hope you agree.
