etc... Well it caught on and got spread around. Pretty soon it became music.

you do know that poetry started first then it turned into rap.

possibly through black americans.

not to sure

rap derived from rock n roll lyrics but had a huge
backing from afro-americans who actually brought
alot of inspiration from gospil n jazz....
you could say rap is an inigma(no pun)lol,. cuz it was
created by a mixed diversity of cultures that just
wanted something pure n from their roots...
.
mainstream made rap..... WE as the underground make hip hop

Blacks. James Brown was the first hip-hopper niggaz. I'M BLACK AND I'M PROUD BITCHES!

-CJ-

except gay ass techno, that shit was pure british/european
.
n we all hate it "right"?

i tend to disagree, only on the grounds that james brown isnt rap..<period

lol tachno is gayness.

I though it originated from slavery

and Jazz

i Cant believe no one on this site knows this........Africa Bambatta.....its true......Discuss

it did, just alot of them listened to n emulated music around in their era
.
.hance my post

shit..it was all back in the Bronx like 1976...somthin like that ... most likely blacks

Yea i agree.

Hip Hop has no culture/no color/no religion and no race

*SHRUGS* Africa Bambatta..............

He was not the origonator he was frankly one of the most influential......on hiphop

true but who can you name before him........*silence*

one of the few, but yes i concur....
its a mixed generations culture n way of life
..
just something pure we all connect with....

hip hop like many other forms of music came from Jazz in one form or another... belive it or not

Cool Herc.

wrong........Africa was credited for being the FIRST.......

Umm...........Thats an interestin question.

The Furious Five

... a Jamaican DJ... Kool Herc

i wouldnt doubt it, but i have no proof that proves it either :huh:

i even heard Blondie invented it..how retarded is that

Yea Africa was a master at hiphop. I wont disagree on that i just think Hiphop didnt have only one inventor. Because Hip-hop music is made up from other forms of music like funk, soul, rhythm & blues, jazz, rock heavy metal, salsa, soca (calypso), TV shows, kiddie shows, horror movies, techno, pop, disco, african, arabic, reggae -etc. . . .

a true collaberation of techniques....like whooaa.....!

if you use any records from these categories, you will see that the music is made by people from different races or nationalities from all over the planet, but it`s roots start with black people.

nun but truth there^^^^^yep yep

Reggae Music...Is where Rap Music Originated From..so I've Heard...

The slaves actually brought rap over...they would actually freestyle while they worked. The word rap is actually an abbreviation... "Rythmic African Poetry"...

It's true.

Blacks................. bitches........



I think

yawn.............
this has already been established., please read mine n dv's posts

^^nah, lm 'is kinda right...rap derived from
slaves.........but to actually say when rap was
established is a guess to anyone...
so technically your both kinda right...
