It doesn't mean that, in the oooold days people used to say ,let my rap to you, and it meant let me speak to you like let me tell you something. Now what we call rapping nowadays has been around arguably for hundreds of years in different forms but without a beat, its essentially just rhyming poetry that we've made more and more technical and refined over time
This doesn't actually mean that, its like how everyone says ADIDAS means All Day I Dream About Soccer or Sports when it never was intended to mean that but it fit so perfectly that its just become that. As Liquid Zen pointed out, it was about the talking aspect of it and you used to rap to someone as in talk to them. But its very fitting because rap is essentially poetry infused with elements of jazz and blues and has evolved since then.
Really depends...The style now is drastically different to 80 years ago. It’s pretty much two different genres at this point. You can’t compare the two.

@@dayremommalove6960 Hip Hop is the culture. Rapping is an element "Rap is something you do, Hip Hop is something you live." - Krs-1 The elements hail from Africa The turntable - the drum The MC - the story teller of the tribe/village Graffiti - hieroglyphics The break dancing - capoeira The 5th elements. The 5th element tell the youth of how we used to do it back in the day. How our music , way of life, and times were in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. In Africa the 5th elements are the elders. They keep an oral history of the tribe/village, to pass down to the next generation. Peaceeeeeee👈😎👍
Rap in some form existed long before this as well. We must remember that during the time of slavery blacks were often forbidden to read or write. However, this allowed for the flourishing of a very rich oral culture that very often was intertwined with music. That's why the contribution of African Americans to music is so great and important. All cultures have musical traditions but in terms of the context of black history in America music and oral poetry was a crucial part of cultural transmission and expression. Great video though.

@Jayo Delaware let's stop blaming gangsta rap. Gsngsta rap wasnt a business trying to catch our kids. It was our kids growing up in that life and that's all they really had to talk about. And if you REALLY pay attention MOST of it was a story that you'd NEED to hear in order to accurately make a decision on whether that was the life you thought you'd get. Yeah, money and all that, but they wasnt short on telling people they lost and how they were actually hoping for better. But then came the generation after that, my generation, that THOUGHT the old rappers were just rapping and being cool. And i blame that specifically on the fact that most parents didnt talk to their kids about gangsta raps. They didn't talk about the underbelly shit..so the kids never got a rela understanding, unlike myself. My parents took the time to show and speak. So unheard the message instead of JUST listening to the words..and either teyinf to rebel that way or hide the song so parebt9wouldnt hear me listening..either way, I wouldn't be soaking in thegame. And when my generation got older and started becoming the next rappersthat's when it went downhill. Rappers with bo insight because before them, all they knew was white people hated it. They tried to shut it down. Parents hated it, based on the fact white people dodjt know what the hell they were talking about, therefore it looked bad in their eyes, so god knows we have to please the white man and not have our kids hear the real truths...so, we grew ignorant. And started rapping ignorantly. Bot to mention..these are ALSO the babies of the crack epidemic. Sp what did most rappers have to talk about? What they saw. And they sawgangs, drugs, crackheads, life to survive, and therefore having to do anything..and as any man knows, may as well be proud of what you have. No need to hate everything all the time. So, they boast, brag about it as well. THEN came technology that bridged us all together. And more importantly, while there were still some good songs cause really only older teens and adults were able to buy and vote for every new album or song. Kids werent allowed to call into radio stations mostly. And older teens and adults are versatile. They've lost friends and loved ones. they've been angry and happy. They have goals. But now technology, with parents who are unwilling to block their kids...kids who know nothing besides what they THINK makes them sound grown, they're the ones voting. Downloading etc. And cyber traffic means the artist is hot. And labels want money, so why waste time on artist with little buzz when you can sign artists who's already got the attention? Dont blame the labels so much. They're pumping what we buy. You and I may not but are you down voting? Are you NOT buying it? What about your kids? You allow them online. You give them money and tell them to getwhatever. Why does an 8yr need to be online or even in youtube? Why does a 12yr old have a credit card for Christmas and told to go online and buy whatever they want? Now the very last part...if there is a trend, why go against it? People will say, "the labels want you to dress like this and talk like that" Cause why? That'what the kids are already doing. It'strend based on them. The only thing celebs do is male a certain affiliate popular. But thedress codes, the styles, the antics, the kids are already doing. The music industry is a reflection. We are the image it is reflecting
@Jayo Delaware I understand that completely. But its bot gangsta rap fault that gangsta life is glorified. Music is our reflection. The kids were already glorifying it, and they in turn became the rappers. It's not like Zulu nation was rapping positives then started being gangsta. Ice T and Ice cube wrapped gangsta life but didnt actually glorify it. It was in the frame of perspectives. What they saw, what they lived through, a d what they thought about it, as well as how they think the people who do it, think about it. It's the generation under that, who's parents only heard surface level cuss words and stories of street life, made their kids not listen to it..so the kids did what kids do, but without understanding. The people in that area will still be bred to live that life, and the kids. Ot in that area will hear struggle and rebellion and want to join in. And they grow to tell about the wrong things. Losing some traditions, like next generations do. The tradition of FULL story telling. Instead they only stick to what they think sounds good. And the parents of the next generation refused to even try to stop their kids or explain anything. So we have yet another generation of wcen more lost kids. Cant blame rap for kids being the way they are...doesnt make sense considering rap is the way it is BECAME of how the people are the way they are. There were no drugs in rap so muchearlier, because the epidemic hadn't really hurt yet. The aftermath are kids who lived a life of survive or die..and so the music. became that. Getting over that thing that almost wiped many out, and the best way they had was w entertainment...and they will brag about being here and how they got there..no matter how bad it was...that's the aftermath..so that's what music became. Cant blame the music Music is the reflection. We are the image that it is reflecting
JAZZ is the original SWAG that set the stage for everything in the latter half of the 20th century (i.e. R&B, Rock, Hip Hop) PERIOD!! Groups like the Jubilaires, Golden Gate Quartet, Deek Watson and his Dots laid the foundation for rap! Founders of "slang" are bandleaders like Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie(checkout his intro in the soundie from 1941, "Airmail Special') & Lester Young! I find it very dope that this was shared and that it brings new light and relevancy to our elders that were in the industry and otherwise!! Thanks for posting BdowN!! Peace!
If you watch the band starting to play and then Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers dancing in “Hellzapoppin” (1941); the musicians are using slang that the slang we use today, originated from. I thought “Hmm, slang today definitely came from Black Jazz musicians from the 1930s-1950s.”
The evolution of Talking blues to hiphop is so varied and influenced so much about all modern music. Even the whitest music you can come across has partial roots in all of this - it's impossible to escape. Everyone owes so much to Black music.
As a white dude, I can't even deny it. Black people basically made or directly influenced every form of modern music. It's kind of stunning to look up nearly every genre in North and South America, on Wikipedia, and read where it originated from. Then check the origin of that origin. Blew my mind when I found out black Americans created rock, doo-wop, and even EDM of all things. Musical geniuses imo.
I believe this kind of singing has been with us since before recorded history. With the harmonizing and the rhythm, it brings people together like no other musical form. Story telling around a fire becomes a social event. My thoughts.
Most definitely I agree 💯, when any lyrics were thought up and pieced together one would likely speak them out in order to harmonize the lyrics and hear just how it sounded also in doing so it was sung so those listening would hear it and be humored or entertained so to put a smile on their face. In doing so it also gave them the spotlight and center of attention so whoever was most clever and who so came up with something creative and interesting soon we're who everyone wanted to meet and listen to. For good cause I should say to cause anyone that was able to make music like that brought happiness to the world. For music I truly am grateful how anywhere you go where there is music people will come together, dance, laugh, and enjoy themselves.
actually, if you mean african folks, rhyme is something that is not documented in african languages. meaning they do not use rhyme in song or poetry, korean language is like that too. but all the rhymes that come in song and poetry is from the english. all songs sung in the english language have their stamp on it, black folks in america did not come here with rhyme it was learned from the english. hundreds of languages in africa did not utilize rhyme and this is just a simple fact about language. so i mean african folks did not rhyme before they came to america and heard it from the english...
Before HiP HoP began Black people used to snap on each other called “The Dozens.” This upload is on point. Taking words and making them rhyme is nothing new.
yo this is a trip really, i knew our brothers were talking mixed blues for a min , 1 never got credit an 2 never really recorded , maybe their sugarhill descendants , this is amazing to have this on video an recorded in history, black people around the world never get due credit an finally they can, tysm
Before Sugar Hill Gang. Jocko” was one of Doug “Jocko” Henderson’s signature phrases on the radio when he worked for WDAS in Philadelphia back in the 1950s-70s. He was known for his rhyming wordplay (including another phrase “Oo-poppa-doo, how do you do.”
Brother you're right, therefore we now have to say hip hop was re-reintroduced in the late 1970's into the 1980's. Thanks for pointing that out, be Blessed
Reintroduced how when it was never introduced in the beginning Talking blues Kicking the jones And alot more!!! Its not rapping and it wasn’t labeled rapping!!!

Thanks for posting this. I've always hated the way contemporary hip-hoppers ignore or sometimes even deny the wonderful music that preceded them. I once interviewed the incredibly gifted Bobby McFerrin (yes, I know he's not exactly hip-hop) but he flatly denied to me that his style of vocal music had been influenced in any way by The Ink Spots, the Mills Brothers and others. In fact, he seemed insulted that I had even asked the question. All it takes is ears to know that those people were the real pioneers. The best modern hip hop is also wonderful, but why can't these people admit that they come from a rich culture that has been going on for decades? They should be proud of it.
Love these type of videos, definitely seems very similar to some of the hip hop we have seen. Just obviously this was in the 40’s. But this was pretty awesome to see that some form of hip hop was done back then
@@BDOWNPRODUCTIONS I was born in the early 40s. TV was just at its beginnings and a rarity outside of town. All of our entertainment came to us via the old AM radio sets. I loved the music but I wouldn't be able to pick any of the players out in person. Thanks again.
I love this video because it shows the elements of hip hop is deep rooted in African American culture and predates DJ cool hurk breakin movement; no disrespect to hurk. The only thing hurk did was found the breaks in beats of hip hop music which gave birth to the term: break boys, (b-boys), break girls (b-girls), which was the names cool hurk gave to the dancers who performed at cool hurk parties. The dance was called Breakin on the East coast which got confused by the media (black media), on west coast which referred to breaking as: breakdancing on the west coast and spread through our United States and world. Hip hop stared in America. The elements stared in America the term hip hop was coined by a African American named Afrikee Bam battalion not cool hurk. Cool hurk started the breaks in the music, shared the knowledge that fueled the breakin movement; which was influenced from his native Jamaican culture. Hip hop started in America buy American of African descent. Now in terms of hip hop dance African Americans started; Latinos keap it alive and added to it (added new moves). But the dances were already their in the beginning this includes wind meals, up rock, back spins , poses, and more. Rap beats and more has strong African Americans roots all this information is documented.
For those of you wondering who "African bam Batallion" is, he's talking about Afrikka Bambaataa. No disrespect meant, it's just a typo. There's a cool documentary series on Netflix about the birth of rap, if anyone's interested. It's called Hip Hop Evolution.
Same here! I love learning about things I wasn't exposed to growing up. I could go on for hours about the problems in our educational system, but most everyone already knows this and there are more important issues to focus on atm. We'll fix education next.
Yes, these are like chants, rhymes, raps. All of that relates to the "Element" of "Rap", which is found in the "Culture" of Hip Hop, which we know is a culture that developed in the mid to late 70's. The "Culture" of course that was started through the works and acquaintances of DJ Kool Herc. But yes, our people have been chanting, rhyming, and rapping since the beginning of time.
All Dj Kool Herc did was introduce a style of mixing. Even the instruments he used such as turntables came from Disco which is African American music. Dj Kool Herc was indeed a HipHop pioneer among many but he didn’t start HipHop.
Naaah... Maybe they've got the attitude but there's no beat, no drums. I understand hip hop is associated with a beat (no melody) and raw lyrics which are meant to tell a story. The way these dudes sing the lyrics is definitely rapping but early hip-hop? Don't think so. *Great video* though.
Like you would know. Nah this is indeed poetry on key with instrumentals. Harmonizing like one of these dudes today. This is what chris brown tory lanes and fetti wap are doing now
It actually started way back, before the 1400s. When we, the Tribe of Judah, were ruling in Portugal, we as the black jews were known for speaking poetry set to music. We got it from our forefathers, King David & King Solomon. In fact, Judah means "Praise". We are the praisers of the lost tribes. They used to send Judah in to give a shout of praise to YHWH before winning the battle. We're the ones who made the walls of Jericho come tumblin' down.
Appreciate you for looking that up. I think Pigmeat was a comedian, but your content is dope. Look forward to seeing what you do with the Here Comes The Judge vid.
From the looks of it it started in the 40/50s, i mean all rap is, is poetry to a rhythm/beat/instrumental and even though there isnt a physical drum beat until this dude chucks it in, all music has a beat. The term beat is used to describe a division of a bar, just as much as it is a term to describe instrumental music, nowadays. Both beats and bars have been around, longer than i care to try and work out. Maybe its just the term Rap, was coined and given validity, much later on and these guys were in essence some of the first rappers?
Years ago, I played music by the Golden Gate Quartet to show my boys that rap was going on even in the late 1930s. I also played some Louis Jordan for them. My father had records by both of those groups when I was a kid in the 1960s, along with lots of Jazz.
If Sugar Hill Gang would have found it they would have taped and stole it like all their Rap. I STARTED RAPPING AKA MC- ing IN 1977 all over the country and world
If we keep unraveling our history, eventually we'll discover the African Griots. They applied rhyme and rhythm, accompanied by congas, when they recited long stretches of history. If we study Musicology and African history, aka, Africology, we should more accurately place the origin of rap with the Griots. The origin of hip hop is an open debate. Did it start with the Last Poets of the late 60s or with the late Gil Scott-Heron of the early 70s or with some other group, time and place. For me, the answer will never be definitive or settled, akin to trying to settle the argument about which religion is the one true religion and when and where did it originate. Much love, Dr. James
👏🏿💯👏🏿💯👏🏿💯👏🏿💯 Louis Jordan continued the tradition in the 1940-50s, ✔out Shirley Ellis once again in 1964 with the "Name Game", Most notable, I agree💯%; the tradition & dance 'Started' in Africa, NOT New York or Old York⁉️💯✊🏿"FREE BILL COSBY"

It was called Scattin’! My Daddy used to scat! Back in the 40s and 50s. We learned that years ago. Come from gospel ❤️ Awesome video 💯
Misappropriation of the term scat. Look up Armstrong and Ella and see where it came from and what it was.
No! It wasn't Scattin! It was RAP! Scattin is a little different ! Armstrong was one of the first to be recorded using Scatt! Yeah!
Toasting birthed MCing. Rocking the crowd.

Hip Hop is the culture.
Rapping is an element
"Rap is something you do,
Hip Hop is something you live." - Krs-1
The elements hail from Africa
The turntable - the drum
The MC - the story teller of the tribe/village
Graffiti - hieroglyphics
The break dancing - capoeira
The 5th elements.
The 5th element tell the youth of how we used to do it back in the day.
How our music , way of life, and times were in the 70's, 80's, and 90's.
In Africa the 5th elements are the elders.
They keep an oral history of the tribe/village,
to pass down to the next generation.
Peaceeeeeee👈😎👍

Rap in some form existed long before this as well. We must remember that during the time of slavery blacks were often forbidden to read or write. However, this allowed for the flourishing of a very rich oral culture that very often was intertwined with music. That's why the contribution of African Americans to music is so great and important. All cultures have musical traditions but in terms of the context of black history in America music and oral poetry was a crucial part of cultural transmission and expression. Great video though.
Thank you!

@Jayo Delaware let's stop blaming gangsta rap.
Gsngsta rap wasnt a business trying to catch our kids. It was our kids growing up in that life and that's all they really had to talk about. And if you REALLY pay attention MOST of it was a story that you'd NEED to hear in order to accurately make a decision on whether that was the life you thought you'd get. Yeah, money and all that, but they wasnt short on telling people they lost and how they were actually hoping for better.
But then came the generation after that, my generation, that THOUGHT the old rappers were just rapping and being cool. And i blame that specifically on the fact that most parents didnt talk to their kids about gangsta raps. They didn't talk about the underbelly shit..so the kids never got a rela understanding, unlike myself. My parents took the time to show and speak. So unheard the message instead of JUST listening to the words..and either teyinf to rebel that way or hide the song so parebt9wouldnt hear me listening..either way, I wouldn't be soaking in thegame.
And when my generation got older and started becoming the next rappersthat's when it went downhill. Rappers with bo insight because before them, all they knew was white people hated it. They tried to shut it down. Parents hated it, based on the fact white people dodjt know what the hell they were talking about, therefore it looked bad in their eyes, so god knows we have to please the white man and not have our kids hear the real truths...so, we grew ignorant. And started rapping ignorantly. Bot to mention..these are ALSO the babies of the crack epidemic.
Sp what did most rappers have to talk about? What they saw. And they sawgangs, drugs, crackheads, life to survive, and therefore having to do anything..and as any man knows, may as well be proud of what you have. No need to hate everything all the time. So, they boast, brag about it as well.
THEN came technology that bridged us all together. And more importantly, while there were still some good songs cause really only older teens and adults were able to buy and vote for every new album or song. Kids werent allowed to call into radio stations mostly. And older teens and adults are versatile. They've lost friends and loved ones. they've been angry and happy. They have goals.
But now technology, with parents who are unwilling to block their kids...kids who know nothing besides what they THINK makes them sound grown, they're the ones voting. Downloading etc. And cyber traffic means the artist is hot. And labels want money, so why waste time on artist with little buzz when you can sign artists who's already got the attention?
Dont blame the labels so much. They're pumping what we buy. You and I may not but are you down voting? Are you NOT buying it? What about your kids? You allow them online. You give them money and tell them to getwhatever.
Why does an 8yr need to be online or even in youtube?
Why does a 12yr old have a credit card for Christmas and told to go online and buy whatever they want?
Now the very last part...if there is a trend, why go against it?
People will say, "the labels want you to dress like this and talk like that"
Cause why? That'what the kids are already doing. It'strend based on them. The only thing celebs do is male a certain affiliate popular. But thedress codes, the styles, the antics, the kids are already doing.
The music industry is a reflection. We are the image it is reflecting
@Jayo Delaware I understand that completely. But its bot gangsta rap fault that gangsta life is glorified.
Music is our reflection. The kids were already glorifying it, and they in turn became the rappers.
It's not like Zulu nation was rapping positives then started being gangsta. Ice T and Ice cube wrapped gangsta life but didnt actually glorify it. It was in the frame of perspectives. What they saw, what they lived through, a d what they thought about it, as well as how they think the people who do it, think about it.
It's the generation under that, who's parents only heard surface level cuss words and stories of street life, made their kids not listen to it..so the kids did what kids do, but without understanding.
The people in that area will still be bred to live that life, and the kids. Ot in that area will hear struggle and rebellion and want to join in. And they grow to tell about the wrong things. Losing some traditions, like next generations do.
The tradition of FULL story telling.
Instead they only stick to what they think sounds good. And the parents of the next generation refused to even try to stop their kids or explain anything.
So we have yet another generation of wcen more lost kids.
Cant blame rap for kids being the way they are...doesnt make sense considering rap is the way it is BECAME of how the people are the way they are.
There were no drugs in rap so muchearlier, because the epidemic hadn't really hurt yet. The aftermath are kids who lived a life of survive or die..and so the music. became that.
Getting over that thing that almost wiped many out, and the best way they had was w entertainment...and they will brag about being here and how they got there..no matter how bad it was...that's the aftermath..so that's what music became.
Cant blame the music
Music is the reflection. We are the image that it is reflecting

This was their HIP-HOP
The group is Jubalaires Active in 40's and 50's
JAZZ is the original SWAG that set the stage for everything in the latter half of the 20th century (i.e. R&B, Rock, Hip Hop) PERIOD!! Groups like the Jubilaires, Golden Gate Quartet, Deek Watson and his Dots laid the foundation for rap! Founders of "slang" are bandleaders like Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie(checkout his intro in the soundie from 1941, "Airmail Special') & Lester Young! I find it very dope that this was shared and that it brings new light and relevancy to our elders that were in the industry and otherwise!! Thanks for posting BdowN!! Peace!
you missed Louis Jordan
Grand master flash and furious five come before 20s
No no no. This is a mix of gospel and work songs. Ain't no jazz
and you forgot to include Blues. .. Blues has higher potential than rock.
If you watch the band starting to play and then Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers dancing in “Hellzapoppin” (1941); the musicians are using slang that the slang we use today, originated from. I thought “Hmm, slang today definitely came from Black Jazz musicians from the 1930s-1950s.”
The evolution of Talking blues to hiphop is so varied and influenced so much about all modern music. Even the whitest music you can come across has partial roots in all of this - it's impossible to escape. Everyone owes so much to Black music.
As a white dude, I can't even deny it. Black people basically made or directly influenced every form of modern music. It's kind of stunning to look up nearly every genre in North and South America, on Wikipedia, and read where it originated from. Then check the origin of that origin. Blew my mind when I found out black Americans created rock, doo-wop, and even EDM of all things. Musical geniuses imo.
Nothing is owed except credit. People should be viewed as one
@@needmoresleep9041 Sadly that's not even given for the most part. That's why it needs to be pointed out.
@@mykeadaptiv5828 well that’s because the music has fusions from different cultures black music isn’t just 100% black. Harmonizing came from Europe.
It definitely is, it just evolved along with rock and roll. It is evident on how modern day hiphop has the grit of rock.
I believe this kind of singing has been with us since before recorded history. With the harmonizing and the rhythm, it brings people together like no other musical form. Story telling around a fire becomes a social event. My thoughts.
Most definitely I agree 💯, when any lyrics were thought up and pieced together one would likely speak them out in order to harmonize the lyrics and hear just how it sounded also in doing so it was sung so those listening would hear it and be humored or entertained so to put a smile on their face. In doing so it also gave them the spotlight and center of attention so whoever was most clever and who so came up with something creative and interesting soon we're who everyone wanted to meet and listen to. For good cause I should say to cause anyone that was able to make music like that brought happiness to the world. For music I truly am grateful how anywhere you go where there is music people will come together, dance, laugh, and enjoy themselves.
actually, if you mean african folks, rhyme is something that is not documented in african languages. meaning they do not use rhyme in song or poetry, korean language is like that too. but all the rhymes that come in song and poetry is from the english. all songs sung in the english language have their stamp on it, black folks in america did not come here with rhyme it was learned from the english. hundreds of languages in africa did not utilize rhyme and this is just a simple fact about language. so i mean african folks did not rhyme before they came to america and heard it from the english...

And this is why Hip Hop is black culture. Not created by people who want to claim it through proximity.
Thanks for posting this. I've always hated the way contemporary hip-hoppers ignore or sometimes even deny the wonderful music that preceded them. I once interviewed the incredibly gifted Bobby McFerrin (yes, I know he's not exactly hip-hop) but he flatly denied to me that his style of vocal music had been influenced in any way by The Ink Spots, the Mills Brothers and others. In fact, he seemed insulted that I had even asked the question. All it takes is ears to know that those people were the real pioneers. The best modern hip hop is also wonderful, but why can't these people admit that they come from a rich culture that has been going on for decades? They should be proud of it.
Love these type of videos, definitely seems very similar to some of the hip hop we have seen. Just obviously this was in the 40’s. But this was pretty awesome to see that some form of hip hop was done back then

I love this video because it shows the elements of hip hop is deep rooted in African American culture and predates DJ cool hurk breakin movement; no disrespect to hurk. The only thing hurk did was found the breaks in beats of hip hop music which gave birth to the term: break boys, (b-boys), break girls (b-girls), which was the names cool hurk gave to the dancers who performed at cool hurk parties. The dance was called Breakin on the East coast which got confused by the media (black media), on west coast which referred to breaking as: breakdancing on the west coast and spread through our United States and world. Hip hop stared in America. The elements stared in America the term hip hop was coined by a African American named Afrikee Bam battalion not cool hurk. Cool hurk started the breaks in the music, shared the knowledge that fueled the breakin movement; which was influenced from his native Jamaican culture. Hip hop started in America buy American of African descent. Now in terms of hip hop dance African Americans started; Latinos keap it alive and added to it (added new moves). But the dances were already their in the beginning this includes wind meals, up rock, back spins , poses, and more. Rap beats and more has strong African Americans roots all this information is documented.
For those of you wondering who "African bam Batallion" is, he's talking about Afrikka Bambaataa. No disrespect meant, it's just a typo.
There's a cool documentary series on Netflix about the birth of rap, if anyone's interested. It's called Hip Hop Evolution.
He (Herc) didn't even do that and Latinos and Jamaicans had nothing to do with it.

Yes, these are like chants, rhymes, raps. All of that relates to the "Element" of "Rap", which is found in the "Culture" of Hip Hop, which we know is a culture that developed in the mid to late 70's. The "Culture" of course that was started through the works and acquaintances of DJ Kool Herc. But yes, our people have been chanting, rhyming, and rapping since the beginning of time.
All Dj Kool Herc did was introduce a style of mixing. Even the instruments he used such as turntables came from Disco which is African American music. Dj Kool Herc was indeed a HipHop pioneer among many but he didn’t start HipHop.
Naaah... Maybe they've got the attitude but there's no beat, no drums. I understand hip hop is associated with a beat (no melody) and raw lyrics which are meant to tell a story. The way these dudes sing the lyrics is definitely rapping but early hip-hop? Don't think so. *Great video* though.

It actually started way back, before the 1400s. When we, the Tribe of Judah, were ruling in Portugal, we as the black jews were known for speaking poetry set to music. We got it from our forefathers, King David & King Solomon. In fact, Judah means "Praise". We are the praisers of the lost tribes. They used to send Judah in to give a shout of praise to YHWH before winning the battle. We're the ones who made the walls of Jericho come tumblin' down.
“Rap” probably started 100s of years ago in Africa in some form or another.
You are not wrong at all.
Remember there wasn't a lot of writen language back then, tribes communicated though speach, songs and stories

From the looks of it it started in the 40/50s, i mean all rap is, is poetry to a rhythm/beat/instrumental and even though there isnt a physical drum beat until this dude chucks it in, all music has a beat. The term beat is used to describe a division of a bar, just as much as it is a term to describe instrumental music, nowadays. Both beats and bars have been around, longer than i care to try and work out. Maybe its just the term Rap, was coined and given validity, much later on and these guys were in essence some of the first rappers?
Another great video!!! Well done!!! ❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

If we keep unraveling our history, eventually we'll discover the African Griots. They applied rhyme and rhythm, accompanied by congas, when they recited long stretches of history. If we study Musicology and African history, aka, Africology, we should more accurately place the origin of rap with the Griots. The origin of hip hop is an open debate. Did it start with the Last Poets of the late 60s or with the late Gil Scott-Heron of the early 70s or with some other group, time and place. For me, the answer will never be definitive or settled, akin to trying to settle the argument about which religion is the one true religion and when and where did it originate. Much love, Dr. James
