Ok, not quite 30. Looks like the roots might be traced to about 1979. The Beastie Boys

I must say for some white jew Kids from N.Y. they kick ass!!! A friend at work loaned me "Paul's Boutique" 2 days ago and I've been listening to it in the car and on the computer here at work. Had to import it to my iTunes library (here at work)up to 507 songs so far! Wish I had "License to Ill".

The only thing the Beastie Boys did was to revive Aerosmith's career.

Acts like The Beastie Boys and Run DMC, and others at that time, just made the genre more mainstream, popularized in the early 1980's by the launch of MTV and Yo! MTV Raps. Rap music for the most part before then was underground.
