In 1971, little known folk singer, known as Johnny Cash, wrote a song called Singing in Viet Nam Talking Blues:
It wasn't until 1972 that a notoriously angry black man, and Nation of Islam acolyte, named Commander Cody, resurrected the all but dead Rap form from the obscure Dead White Men. The song he recorded was called Hot Rod Lincoln, and it reached #9 on the Billboard Charts:
In the years since then, Hip Hop/Rap has come to be known as almost exclusively a Black Man's Art Form. You know, like Jazz. This is because Black Men are just better at Rap/Hip Hop. They just are. There's just no getting around it. That's the way it is, and always will be.
Oh sure, some White Men have tried to steal it back but their efforts suffer from the White Man's genetically inborn incomprehension of Class Warfare and resentment.
