Beau Sia -- Def Poetry Jam (NSFW)
While some may question whether or not this qualifies as poetry, I think it does (though explaining why might take me a week or two). Either way, it's funny. It earned the NSFW status due to a couple of swear words.
Wow, interesting that he is a slam artist, and was in fact in Saul Williams' movie "Slam", but did not do any type of poetry in the movie. I think of him every time I hear Eric B and Rakim's "Paid in Full". Classic scene on the bus where Saul starts rapping Paid in Full and Beau declares "We have an MC in the house!!!" He also hits his head on the top of the van and starts laughing (out of character). Surprised they didn't refilm that. Pretty cool movie if you like Saul.
