Grandmixer DST "Pigmeat was rapping like us in 1968!", Kool Mo D "Pigmeat was 100% doing what we do"

There is numerous proof of black americans rhyming syncopated to a beat since the 1920s, from the Blues guys down to the Gospel choirs. What make Pigmeat stand out is that he was rapping over a Funk backing aka "breakbeat" in 1968 which would be exactly what we would see and hear, in HipHop, later on in the 1970s/early 1980s

​@@hiphophistorian5476 Georgie Woods, the "Man with the Goods" deserves an honorable mention. His 1968 song Potato Salad where he raps over Lionel Hampton's 1967 "Greasy Greens is arguably one of the first rap/hip-hop records. This is 11 years before the Sugar Hill Gang raps over Chic's Good Times. Georgie Woods' Pt II is arguably too the first remix. Not as syncopated as James Brown's 1968 rap, "Say it Loud" but years later James Brown would put out another rap song out bigging up Georgie Woods'. I believe it's "Let's Get It Together, Brother. Good video brother.

​@@hiphophistorian5476 this song might be a two years late. But The Temptations on #BallOfConfusion sound like a Hip Hop record of today as well. And they spitting if you pay attention to the lyrics.

Plainly put… We’ve been Rapping for longer than we thought. It just wasn’t called Hip-Hop then.
