yes it's poetry, but is it "good" is harder to answer.

Does it mean I'm stupid if I can't comprehend what they are saying?
>>
>>7472626
No, it means you're ray-cist.
>>
>>7472502
No. It's a diversion in the same way as a pop song or something; it's neither intended to be "high art" nor is it.
>>
>>7472502
no it's not poetry. I dont know what it is but it's closer to rap than to poetry
>>
>>7472536
Why do they say "uh" so much?

Like it doesn't sound like them just trying to think of what to say, it's like it's an legitamate rule that "uh" needs to be added after every line.

their thought process short-circuits after 5 or 6 words

Slam poetry has no structure whatsoever. The content is often vapid and consistently opaque, so the delivery of the material is the only unique aspect of slam poetry remaining. And even that is utterly banal...repeated in a nearly identical fashion by every performer.
