IS THIS THE WORLD'S FIRST RAP SONG? (From 1930)

[LedWilde]

I invented Rap in 1528. I don't like the way it's evolved.

[nederland4045]

Rap has been around for a long long time, there is one from 1939 it even has murder in it.

[mrohyoudidntknow]

rap has the element of vulgar. This would be the first rap song, if it had any traces of vulgar in it. It must contain offensive lyrical material to be considered rap. So, with that, I don't believe that this is rap.

[hoobadoobler]

@mrohyoudidntknow

It doesn't have to be explicit in order to be rap. Heck, there's a bunch of Christian rap out there. Rapping is basically just speaking lyrics rhythmically

[djkaneck1]

Rap started in New Orleans 1700's from the art of signifying which came from the game the Dirty Dozens. Try listening to and reading antebellum minstrel sheet music. The offical genre was "Pop" music from Blackface minstrels. The first offical song title as a "rap" was by Dirty Rap in 1968 by Blow Fly. All American Musical lyrics are rap and they all have a vulgar sexual tone. The word Jazz itself means SEX. Nice try...

[TheChuck624]

It isn't rap unless "suck my dick" is in it someplace. Sorry. Fail. 

[thealaa16]

[smooviosmooth]

[PriorityOfVengence]

This Is The Shit! Immortal technique would get PWNED by this guy!

"Your best friends wont tell you, no, you wonder why you lost your balls?"

"When your noisy neighbours make you moan, we'll show you how to make them groan!"

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW HELLL NAWWWWWWWW!

[cage000100]

[DatCoolAfroNinja]

[DimensionsofChange]

@DatCoolAfroNinja Holy shit! How did you get a top comment without any thumbs up?

[613maccabee]

Why do people argue about this, haven't any of you ever heard of nursrey rhymes?

[031700bailey]

THIS IS WACK ASS HELL!!!!!

[softfishy]

Who cares what color you are lets just saw PEOPLE created rap, PEOPLE creatred rock and roll, and PEOPLE created all music I mean really who cares what color you are now a days

[agbrown83]

What's this song called and who is the artist?

[SirCrooner]

@agbrown83 The artist is Harry Reser, although I'm not sure what the name of the song is. I would guess that it is called "Send For Our Free Booklet", but as many of his songs had titles that had absolutely no connection to the content of the lyrics, don't count on it.

[Chaplin1914]

@SirCrooner Yes! It's called "SEND FOR OUR FREE BOOKLET"

[appsuperhog]

people before you make a comment concerning history do your research PLEASE!

[neger187]

damn dude was spittin that raw 1930's post-depression crack better than Jeezy's Recession

[blazinskillz]

This proves nothing. People has been rhyming before recorded media. Just cause it rhymes doesnt means its hiphop

[itzmurda18]

black people ignorantly claim they invented rock and roll (which was created using both african and european elements, including the irish jig) so it wouldnt be a stretch for whites to claim that they invented rap. although, neither forms of rock and roll and rap in question sound anything like the modern day genres do.

[PantherEnt]

@itzmurda18 Too bad is doesn't matter what fucking color they are because we're all people.

[itzmurda18]

@PantherEnt tell that to the blacks that claim they invented rock n roll.

[b4b4777]

@itzmurda18 Every black person created rock and roll.

[itzmurda18]

@b4b4777 Every white person created rap.

[BlacknesUnforgivable]

@itzmurda18 poor little white revisionist

it is common knowledge (even to whites) that blacks created rock n roll.Look at the majority of the earliest rock musicians...all black.

[itzmurda18]

@BlacknesUnforgivable you're a pathetic black propagandist. just look at your username. thats how obsessed with race that you are. no life, just sit around all day spewing hatred at people due to your inferiority complex. and its only "common knowledge" that the earliest rock musicians were black to ignorant motherfuckers who dont know what they are talking about. face it, your reality is based off of ignorance and lies. do some research boy.

[singingkid]
