Blacks.

If you listen to songs from the 70s like the Convoy song and Devil Went Down to Georgia, those guys were basically rapping with musical interludes.

If you have to attribute it to anyone its white Southerners.

Your hypothesis is supported by piles of research I see.

I think you can blame a lot of shitty things on southerners, but rap isn't one of them.

Please don't do that. No one wants to claim rap. Rap is the music of fail and aids.

If whites are to accept responsibility for rap it should only be done w/ the intent to troll to other people....

Hip Hop music was invented by two German guys from Düsseldorf named Florian Schneider and Ralf Hütter around 1978.

Well then, chalk up another point for the South.  Doesn't quite rate as high as our southern brethren's other contributions to society, such as truck nuts or The Mullet, but it's a contribution none the less.

You don't have to post every single thought that crosses your mind.  In fact, it's better if you don't.

Wasn't rap popular among inner city youths long before it started getting popular?

Remember the song Rapture by Debbie Harry?  It was referencing rap going on in the
inner cities, I think rap has been around a lot longer than most realize.

They both have jazz and soul origins, and there was considerable cross-over between the two.



I'd say they have common ancestors, not necessarily one preceding the other.

I totally agree.  But I think its improper for one group to claim total credit when others have obviously contributed to the genre.

Obviously the urban influence has evolved it but the origins are the same.

The origin of all music is the same, how far back do you want to go?

Why is it, hip hop artists, or rap artists, tend to refer to themselves in the third person, repeatedly, in many of their tracks?


Do this in your head:  Hum Master of Puppets or Battery, and then say, "METALLICA nah nah nah nah METALLICA."  Doesn't that sound ridiculous?   How about some country, "Here she comes, a walking talking true love, saying I've been looking for you, love; SUPRISE GEORGE STRAIT, out of a blue clear sky."

And I think it's funny that rock music is attributed to rebellious whites, when in fact the first rock music was black gospel music.  I was listening to the Bone Conduction Music show when Thayrone X played what he claimed was THE first recorded instance of rock music, and it was from the early 20th century, long before the "golden age" of rock in the 1950s.  I looked it up, and sure enough, that's where rock came from.  I just wish I could remember the name of the singer, her voice was beautiful.

You can trace all noise patterns made by humans ( I refuse to label rap as music) back to the cavemen shouting "ug ug" while beating on a log with another stick.

That kind of rap didn't come around till a good number of years after rap became commonly known and popular.
