Actually, white people invented rap. Ever hear of square dance calling?

Every time I hear an auctioneer, I think of a square dance caller.

Well, I’ll be. Dead, huh?

Gil Scott Herron was actually a fairly gifted musician, but his radical leftist politics infected his work, and destroyed any chance he might have had at becoming a superstar recording artist.

I really enjoyed some of his stuff, back in the 70s.

Sugar Hill Gang. Rapper's Delight. 1979. Blondie's "Rapture" is terrible.
