"Rap was around in the 20s.
Then they were called 'patter songs.'
'I'm a Ding-Dong-Daddy from Dumas,' is a prime example."


I would say it's not rap's musical form that is losing popularity but the destructive cultural content of contemporary rap that is turning people off.

We certainly have Bill Cosby and of course black conservatives in general for leading in this direction.

I'm sorry, but this is VERY wishful thinking. Do you honestly believe that a 12-16 year old cares what Bill Cosby thinks? And do you think a 12-16 year old also cares about what is taboo in society?

I don't know much about Rap, but what I do know of it has no musical form, only rythem. I believe it was invented so those with NO musical talent whatsoever could pretend to be in the music business.
