My dad, in the early to mid 1960’s, used to call rock and roll “jigaboo music.” So you are correct.

Rap was created by a jewish guy, Bob Dylan. Rap means a criminal charge or prison sentence.

Lol.

In the 1940s and 1950s, "rapping" referred to a style of quick, witty, rhythmic talking, often associated with African American communities. Jazz musicians and street poets like the Beats used this form of speech as a way to express ideas or emotions rhythmically.

Who knows what the truth is. I would be far more convinced if there was evidence of people using rap before rap music.

I would think it stems from the word rapport.

Black people invented rock & roll. "Rock music" is more of a white people's invention or adaptation of that.

I've seen a couple of these cryptic posts this week that are one-off from new usernames. Maybe they are trying to get past the automod.

I know lots of bots are here but this seems like a dumb one from like 2016, it can't tell what this post is really about, just a few keywords. Canbot is a better bot with AI, he can actually have conversations.

I prefer Black Box.
