Bruce Willis in The Last Boy Scout
For those of you that have ever wondered about the roots of Rap music let me give you a suggestion:
Chuck Berry 1956
and then
Bob Dylan early 1960's
Then a lot of Rap I can't understand
but finally
Blue Grass Rap I kinda dig.
(somebody lock up Yellow Dog Granny's pencils)
Tomasia and Wrench: The Big Branch Mine.
I could be wrong
probably am
the Ol'Buzzard
Hmmm, by golly, I think you're on to something here.
ReplyDeleteLiked your blog handle and followed you home from The Blog Fodder - I'm glad I did! I'm still chuckling over that classic line from Bruce Willis, and I got a kick out of the Bluegrass Rap. And anything Chuck Berry did was all right by me.
ReplyDeleteRap won't make me scream, though. It's not my favourite, but at least it's got some guts. Force me to listen to boy bands from the 80s and you'll hear some serious screaming. Right before I chew my own wrists open.
Yeah, okay, Blogger hates me. I'm not "blog", I'm Diane Henders. Try this one.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Gil Scott Heron.
