Rap started in Jamaica way back in the late 50s with DJs like King Stitt and Count Machuki. They used to rap over old school R&B even before Ska was being played at soundsystems. Sure there's always been guys who can rhyme but Jamaican DJs were the first to rhyme over a prerecorded rhythm track. Rap is a sub-genre of Jamaican Dancehall music. Sorry if that makes people mad but that's the truth.

U Roy has so much charisma that he makes Snoop Dogg look like Bryant Gumbel.

Where was Daddy U Roy on the night of 25 April 2011? He was not at the Excelsior Club, Balham, as promised by the promoters. The promoters MUST have known that he was not going to appear, well in advance. £20 admission fee and no chance of a partial/ full refund from these mendacious and deceitful promoters. No Shame, No Pride, No Refund..

@Luis514 - Well just because it is not said written somewhere...... does not changes the truth. After all -- in the early days of the music industry many African American songwriters and singers were not recognized for their contributions...but that didn't change the undeniable fact of what they did. Certainly much later the truth comes out and in fact many great contributions that were not recognized 50-60 years ago are now being recognized posthumously.
