>>> The new thing was called "rap" in NYC back in the '70s. Been there, done that! And "rap" was in Jamaica decades ago; DJ's called it "toasting." Hip Hop is a lifestyle from the freakin' '80s. <<< "Rap" was a term coined by the media to describe the music, after streetcorner rappin'. The music's true name, the one all the real "heads" call it, is "hip-hop," a culture including the music, dance, graffiti, fashion, and knowledge. Get some from www.zulunation.com, the premier source for the preservation of real hip-hop. Peace.
