Early Rap

BdowN states his case that hip hop began way before the 1970s/80s. He has a clip of two different samples. One from the 1940s and one from the 1950s. The 1950s is where it is at! The birth of hip hop began. BdowN put the 1950s clip to a beat which was a nice addition to their original ensemble which included a rap.

The "Rapper's Delight" is the earlies other known record for rap.
