      This is spoken word poetry. Rap as we know it was created in the NYC borough of The Bronx by Jamaicans 🇯🇲 and Puerto Ricans 🇵🇷.
      Busta Rhymes was a part of that history.
      Also Brazilians 🇧🇷 created Jazz that eventually made it's way to American city of New Orleans in Louisiana

    Yes this is true, Rudy was ahead of his time. It's just that he came out very early and now all of the commedianes (Eddie Murphy, Martin, Dave Chappelle) all pay homage to him. And he likewise is known as the Godfather of rap. Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Easy E, and many more sampled much of his materal. So Rudy was a huge trend setter and a trailblazer that just came out before his time.
