I think the first "rap" song was Tom Waits' "Step Right Up"..... The vulgar lyrics and vocal style originated from a group called "The Last Poets"........

Rap music for white people. Walton and Sitwell did it first - in 1923! ;-)

I sampled the piece..... Heard influences of Gilbert and Sullivan.....
So maybe Gilbert and Sullivan?
Operatic "recitative" might actually be the "original rap".........
Except that recitative is sung on pitch (in a rhythm which allows for fairly wide latitude), whereas the rhythmic recitations of Façade are spoken in strict rhythm. Maybe we could say that recitative is an "influence" on Rap? ;-)
