(The guy in the picture is not a rapper. But he is beautiful)
I think if Vonnegut was to become a 'musical artist', he'd definitely be a rapper. Like his novel Slaughterhouse 5-- it's very steady, and the narrative flows the same throughout the text, and even though there are dramatic events. Like a rapper, it feels like Vonnegut is rhyming his experiences in the same tone. Unlike a pop singer, or an R&B singer where they can sing in a high pitch or a low pitch. Vonnegut just delivers his words and feelings straight forward, not in a creative tone, but creative enough. His words are so interesting that people will be hooked onto the lyric and listen carefully what he'd write about instead of just repeating 'imma be imma be imma imma imma be' throughout the song. I admit, it is very catchy but is there a deep meaning to it? Many rappers convey their life through music. At least many of the old school ones. Recent rappers have been sucked into the public, but it isn't their fault since that's how the society is changing into. But that's another topic. In all honesty, he'd actually be a decent rapper. In my opinion at least. Reading a couple of his poetry already shows the depth of his words. The genuine meaning behind specific phrases. It'd be a fun rap to listen to and to even figure out what he's trying to convey.
