i dont see what yall issue is rap is am art it has always been an art. all rappers arent of the same skill and class but then again neither are writers.
@modenasolone Maybe not, but they're still related. The improvisational aspect of scat singing and the free style rapping ciphers of yesteryear are very much related to one another. See Nonameko for a great blending of the two genres, song is called "All of Me".
@BInRt Ya know despite the fact that you insinuated he was a rapper, in some sense he was! He flowed far better than a lot of wack MCs today;) hehehehehhehehe And those are some pretty yellowbones and redbones!
@BInRt Come to think of it, his subject matter in Minne the Moocher was pretty vulgar but the way he phrased the wording made it acceptable and witty. Nowadays tact seems to be lost on the youngsters.
cab calloway isnt rap, why are people comparing his music to rap, they are completely different genres! learn your music !

I'm guessing that all these rap haters are white folk.

Back in the day, rappers had CLASS while rubbing against half-naked women in music videos.

@BInRt I dont see how you can equate Cab Calloway to a rapper. Scat singing and rappering is not the same genre.
