?? the original chat came to jamaican radio from the US and was taken up by selectors to fire up the crowns who followed the mobile disco sets at the time 60's. Daddy URoy came to fame chatting over re-vamped Duke Reid "Treasure Isle" rock steady tunes..."wake the town an tell the people" really did wake em, created a storm when first pressed...U Roy had 1,2, and 3 in the charts... The rest is history....

yeah, i totaly agree. Same with djing in early hip-hop. Dj-kool herc (from jamaica) origanly tryed to get people to toast over reggae records, but no one in the US listened to reggae, so he had to make breaks on soul records for people to rap on.

Bless up
Remember Uroy coming over the UK airwaves in the 70s
Respect
I agree 100%...he was the first DJ/toastster to put lyrics on record. I had a disagreement with a American girl a few months back telling her that rapping today started in Jamaica. Bless

I grew up in jamaica in the late sixties and 70's and grew up listening to Uroy on the radio toasting. back then it was not called Rapping. Its a pity he is recognized by the American Music Industry for his contribution to RAP/HIP HOP. Anyway, so what? We have great music too and are happy to share it nevertheless.
