AAs being Rapping since the Jazz age which many folks don't know about..
Some of Curtis Mayfields stuff can be considered Rap..
Certainly Gil Scott-Heron did lots of Rapping..
The thing is, in the Bronz, AAs & Caribbeans and Puerto Ricans put their own spin on the art form and heightened the block partying atmosphere to Hip Hop.
BUT STILL, Tariq Nasheed is seriously xenophobic and I detest his attacks on Caribbean & African people..
Dude constantly dismisses Pan-Africanism etc etc..
His attitude is exactly what we don't need today given what's happening in Trump’s America.
