RE: Melonious Thonk #18: 1930s Hip Hop!? The Earliest Rap Song?
"Only 30's kids will remember" made my Easter haha...
I think, yeah, technically we have a 30's contender for the first rap! Unless they find the Julius Caesar bootlegs of "pimp my laurels" these may be among the earliest examples.
Mesmering to think Wizard of Oz could've had a Harlem-flow soundtrack...To rival the dubstep soundtrack for Gone with the wind.
Nice work, I enjoyed it a little too much. Turns the Millenial view of the music archives on it's head!
Keep Steemin' :)
Haha yea. Even if Julius Casear had below par rapping skills, his street cred would be on another level. He's connected deep in the slums of Rome.
