positive aspects: addresses topics most middle-class Americans think and worry about on a day-to-day basis. Edgy word selection speaks to the audience.
negative aspects: words used to state his point may offend some viewers. Fast pace of speech may lose some people (may need to hear the poem twice to totally follow).
positive aspects: two people speaking gives reinforcement to the message and provides an interesting rhyming delivery to emphasize points.
negative aspects: none

I have not watched these videos, but the Amir Sulaiman video might be worth exploring more. When you talk about intense delivery and anger, you know that a specific audience is being targeted and someone is for sure being excluded.
