When people think rap began in late 70's New York City, I laugh. Here you have 54 year old John Dee Holeman *CLEARLY* rapping, and rapping well! Now...do historians think at age 50 or so he just started listening to early hip hop and took up their style?!?!?! Of course not. Rap was originally spoken-word blues during buckdancing; a slave and field worker tradition dating back centuries.
everything was going along great at the River dance stage show , until Uncle Sooky said Aunt Essie's Mac- Cheese looked 'store bought.'
Cool
btw: the invention of hiphop? :p At some point he sounds like funkmaster flash
Yes rapping comes from “signifying” it started in slavery when our ancestors blended upper West African traditions a “roasting” (like for ex what some Mandé ppls call “sinankunya”) & “griot” storytelling traditions (djeliya). signifying started being incorporated into comedy routines like dolemite n queen bee which influenced alotta the first rappers when they was kids.
I have this VHS i think.
awesome! Is this the same John Dee Holeman that is supported by the music maker foundation??
Bailão fudido.... Embrazando legal....
BTW to Brerrobot- that's a black man not white.

Too bad this southern way of life is disappearing among the southern black communities. It's a bunch of generation listening to Nikki Minaj, Kanye West and other crap.
