hmm, I grew up allways beleiving that hip hop originated thru african poetry,slaveship boredom and allround during the time of african deportation.

When i search for ra[ps history this is what I find.

How "rap" started: In the beginning, the DJ was the most prominent person in the rap music equation, but once the music industry saw dollar signs in the creative efforts of MCs, or masters of ceremonies, such as "Love Bug" Starski and Kurtis Blow, the MCs were termed as "rappers," and the music was labeled "rap." Soon, in the eyes of the public, rapping eclipsed the art of DJing, and rappers became kings and queens.

So can you please show me were you get your facts from,cause to me these "facts" above dont really run deep into shit and sorta scratch the surface.
