This from a guy who capitalizes 'Japanese' but not U.S.A.

I think rap started in country music anyway-


I think the heritage goes back to blues and jazz poetry.

But what's the first rap music, in the modern sense of the word?

Bob Dylan never rapped, he was just incapable of holding a note. :lol:

One of the first rap songs. There is some funky drumming on this track!

You can clearly see him holding a note saying "DIG YOURSELF".

Hey Minnesotastrats, the plural of 'taco' is 'tacos'. What do you suppose the plural of 'Coronado' is? :|

Strings, this post was to acknowledge your point about putting usa in lower case, but you are obviously too stupid to get that. I must have struck a nerve for you to go to all the trouble of searching other threads to find this stuff. :roll:

If we are going to illustrate Rap style's in unusual places..... Well I couldn't think of a better example than Black Oak Arkansas's Jim Dandy and some of his odd bible belt rantings...

When Electricity Came to Arkansas "
I'll have to take a look back and see....

The nauseating derogatory nature of referring to women as bitches to be subdued and basically used as disposable objects... ( I'm sure there is no need to graphically illustrate )..
The endless glorification of load and lock of yo Glock... followed by the senseless rise to arms chant (rant) of getting even in the hood..... No need for me to further illustrate..


Are you sure that's all there is out there? You must listen to a lot of Rap then?

Keep Ya Head Up - 2Pac

Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots
I give a holla to my sisters on welfare
2Pac cares, if don't nobody else care
And, I know they like to beat you down a lot
When you come around the block, brothers clown a lot
But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up
Forgive but don't forget, girl, keep your head up
And when he tells you you ain't nothin', don't believe him
And if he can't learn to love you, you should leave him
Cause sister, you don't need him
And I ain't tryin' to gas ya up, I just call 'em how I see 'em
You know what makes me unhappy
When brothers make babies, and leave a young mother to be a pappy
And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women
I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women

And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies that make the babies
And since a man can't make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
So will the real men get up
I know you're fed up ladies, but keep your head up

[Refrain x2]
Keep ya head up, ooh, child, things are gonna get easier
Keep ya head up, ooh, child, things'll get brighter

[Verse 2]
I remember Marvin Gaye used to sing to me
He had me feelin' like black was the thing to be
And suddenly the ghetto didn't seem so tough
And though we had it rough, we always had enough
I huffed and puffed about my curfew and broke the rules
Ran with the local crew and had a smoke or two
And I realize Momma really paid the price
She nearly gave her life to raise me right
And all I had to give her was my pipe dream
Of how I'd rock the mic and make it to the bright screen
I'm tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cents
It's hard to be legit and still pay the rent
And in the end it seems I'm headin' for the pen
I try to find my friends but they're blowin' in the wind
Last night my buddy lost his whole family
It's gonna take the man in me to conquer this insanity
It seems the rain'll never let up
I try to keep my head up and still keep from gettin' wet up
You know it's funny when it rains it pours
They got money for wars but can't feed the poor
Say there ain't no hope for the youth and the truth is
It ain't no hope for the future
And then they wonder why we crazy
I blame my mother for turning my brother into a crack baby
We ain't meant to survive cause it's a setup
And even though you're fed up
Huh, ya got to keep your head up

[Refrain x2]

[Verse 3]
And uh, to all the ladies havin' babies on they own
I know it's kinda rough and you're feelin' all alone
Daddy's long gone and he left you by your lonesome
Thank the Lord for my kids, even if nobody else want 'em
Cause I think we can make it, in fact, I'm sure
And if you fall, stand tall and come back for more
Cause ain't nothin' worse than when your son
Wants to know why his daddy don't love him no mo'
You can't complain you was dealt this
Hell of a hand without a man, feelin' helpless
Because there's too many things for you to deal with
Dyin' inside, but outside you're looking fearless
While tears is rollin' down your cheeks
Ya steady hopin' things don't fall down this week
Cause if it did, you couldn't take it, and don't blame me
I was given this world I didn't make it
And now my son's gettin' older and older and cold
From havin' the world on his shoulders
While the rich kids is drivin' Benz
I'm still tryin' to hold on to surviving friends
And it's crazy, it seems it'll never let up, but
Please, you got to keep your head up
