Did Jonny Cash invent Rap?

[mjdtexan]

shame on you for saying rap and Mr Cash's name in the same sentence like I just did

Ok first off Jonny didn't have anything to do with rap at all.

The very first rap song (one the one that was documented as the first) was Sugarhill Gang-Rappers Delight.
Blondies idea of a rap song was a joke never the less it became a hit so it was second but the first rap song by a white person and a woman at that.

I kind of like it. Anything with Johnny Cash sounds good. Lord I miss that man!

I would say, that particular song would be classified as Rockabilly....The difference between Johnny Cash and rappers is, Johnny Cash could actually sing....Nuff said.

I dunno about Johnny Cash, but whomever did invent rap should be flogged in the town square.

Repeatedly.

I'd like to hear it without Cypress ! I love the bass player he is rocking.
For you folks who don't like rap, I suggest you don't listen to this song. Cypress Hill is NOT country.
