Clarence Reid (Blowfly) had been rapping since 1966

And Johnny Otis put out a XXX record with rapping under the name Snatch And The Poontangs (key cut Big John Peter or was it Jeeter)

Drum and bass, there it is, already been done, decades before what books will tell you

And I doubt Otis or Pigmeat invented it but among the first to widely record it.

I think “Hot Rod Lincoln” was the first rap song, that or, “Surfin’ Bird”

Otis.. wasn’t he R&B?
