Who started Rap?

[ruxxx]

There were brothers kicking raps BEFORE any of the names mentioned (it wasn't really called "rap" though (nor was it an official genre).More like "let me rap to you for a minute brother").Melvin Van Peebles, Last Poets,Gil Scott Heron,Eugene McDaniels (to a degree on the VERY sought after (even by me) "Headless Heroes" LP) and even James Brown.
