Frankly, I think those 'who invented rap' or 'which precursors came close' discussions are a bit pointless - unless you like to spend a few hours chewing the fat among music freaks, of course. To me, James Brown is the godfather - point final - and as for the noble art of jiving to music (aka parlando) ... that's been around as long as jazz (the rhythm in R'n'B) has existed, no? Anyhows, see also http://uzine.posterous.com/dave-bartholomews-saga-of-new-orleans-rhythm for "The monkey" and http://uzine.posterous.com/beginners-guide-to-rhythm-n-blues for "Jack that cat was clean" both of which are also featured on yet another cool Trikont v/a comp "Early Rappers - Hipper Than Hop - The Ancestors Of Rap" … apparently volume one in a series. Hey and dig those Last Poets lyrics too, you 99%ers y'all!
