that to work or for it to sound as good that's the DJ dolo technique when I say pizza you say bagel pizza you're listening to forever ago from APM studios I'm your host Joy dolo and I'm here with Savion from Oakland California hi joy today we're talking about the history of rap music one of the most popular kinds of music in the world we were inspired by this question from Parker hi my name is Parker and I'm from Siberia Ontario my question is where did rap music come from thanks for that great question Parker Savion have you ever listened to rap music um I have listened to it it's like one of my favorite kinds of music oh really do you like lupae fiasco and like two-pack oh wow that's pretty cool do you have a favorite song um I like kick push by lupae fiasco okay cool cool that's cool I meant to look
that up because okay so here's my deal
like I listen to a lot of different kinds of music and so like I know like one artist in each genre so I know who to bug is I don't know who lupae fiasco is please don't judge me Savion do you listen to other types of music or other genres I listen to like rock music okay what are some of your other favorite artists um the score imagine dragons like my district cool do you have a favorite song that you're listening to right now or just like in general um I like army by zady wolf would it be too much for me to ask you how it goes or like what are some of the lyrics um I think I remember some of it the time is now going kamikaze won't back down yeah yeah rock and roll we got to start a band man that'd be cool what would you want to be in a band um actually yeah I think so oh yeah that's awesome that is so cool um
if you could make up your own genre of music what would it sound
like I think it'd be like kind of like rock and electronic mixed together like guitars and maybe like a synth of some kind yeah would it have like a specific name like this genre of music I don't know maybe like electro rock oh yeah I like that electro rock electric electric oh yeah I like combining it you know yeah that's pretty cool I like that maybe I can be in your in your band yeah electric band anyway back to rap music rapping is when you rhyme words over a beat keeping the rhythm of the there are so many types of music that influenced rap from the blues to jazz and spoken word poetry before rap was its own kind of music there are a lot of examples that sounded like an early version of rapping like this 1940 song from the jubilaires there's also this spoken word poem set to music from 1971 it was written by Gil Scott Herron it's hard to say when rapping was officially invented first in history can be hard to pinpoint
as we know in first things first especially when we're talking about music language and art sometimes pinpointing history is like trying to pin jelly to the wall precisely and even
