sorry I was gonna answer it but I had to do something. Anyways, I think the literal meaning would be that the people in the poem are assuming that black people listen to rap music and music that "African Americans listen to" when anyone can listen to anything, hence the "Afrobeats and Caribbean music"

The deeper meaning is that this person who is speaking knows "white artists" as they grew up around these people. "Yet, I am familiar with the beat of pounding . Pounding of sugar cane, the whipping of backs . The cries and screams of my ancestors . Ring loud in my head centuries later " They are saying here that they know too much about being a slave and being whipped on the back by their owners. "The cries and screams of my ancestors ring loud in my head centuries later" This means that there is generation trauma, which is really sad. BLM

Can you tell me what are the metaphors in John Keats poem please

Anettt [7]

Answer:Keats uses here two elaborated metaphors: one of the imagination as a charioteer who can fly into the heavens and "do strange deeds / Upon the clouds" (evidently a reference to the imagination's creative func tion), and one of poetry itself as being a planet of sound, rolling through the heavens.
