we jamaicans were the first ones to put the b side on them mc over it hip hop takes jazz and other influences such as james brown and samples them thats the music but the mc the dj jamaicans brought that so yes we did invent rap

[lordkoos]

All respect to Jamaica and reggae music, which I love -- but rap was not invented in Jamaica, it is a long tradition with probably roots in African culture. A big record in Jamaica in the 1950s was "The Monkey Speaks His Mind" which is essentially a rap record. The record was made in New Orleans, not Kingston.

[SweetAdvice]

@lordkoos The whole club scene without a live band, With live DJs, sound box and etc... was from Jamaica. That is why the Dancehall preformers are called Deejayers. The sound box men use to way back set up their box to attract business. You also have to remember Jamaica always had some kind of connection to Lousiana because of jazz. Rap was invented by chanters in Africa. That is why dub music the rastas do sound like Rap but the Dancehall genre is Deejaying not rapping.

[beyo2233]

The Ancient Africans, Alkebulan , were chanting for hours upon meditation , prayer and ritual , so those are the original rappers, and its no competition all come together and sing for one cause

yes julz145, hiphop is a direct decendant of the reggae soundsystem, the 'talkover dj' is the father of the m.c or rapper but just like reggae, hiphop has descended into emptiness and guntalk, this was such a heartwarming period though but then 'real' struggle produces 'real' music

[PureSynthesis]

I think you will find Rap is ultimately decended from the art of spoken word poetry which would commonly be recitd over tribal rhythms (see Gil Scott heron).

However the art of rapping (as in hip hop) comes from Funk, where songs progressed to spoken word (see James Brown, Johnny Guitar Watson, George Clinton.)

There are similarities, but although rap takes alot of infliuence from reggae it is not derived from it.

PS.

Dont confuse Hip hop with RAP.

- Rap is the art of spoken poetry.

[PureSynthesis]

- Dj Kool Herc was a jamician, and the pioneer of what was to become hip hop.

However when he moved to the South bronx he set up a local sound system that played Funk Grooves and Electro.

'Electro' = early hip hop name.

The art of speaking lyrics is not a new one and has occured in virtually all music genre.

If you were to claim the BASS element of hip hop come from reggae, then you might be on the right track as Herc would emphisis bass.

the term 'hip hop' is derived from jazz speak.

[STEPASAUR]

you're misinterpeting me puresynthesis, I'm saying hiphop is the 'direct' descendant in that it was the next stage or manifestation and not that the tree begins there, damn, we could go back to Griots etc. for all that, but thanks for knowin' your stuff tho, after 28 years active in hiphop I've picked up a few facts too
