<personal opinion>
I REALLY dislike rap / hip hop whatever the stuff is called (played everywhere these days). I was discussing this proliferation of bad "music" with a friend (fellow over 30 hard rock/heavy metal fan) about the origin of the modern rap and why it didn't exist before the late 70s and early 80s (then the explosion started a few years later). My theory is that it was not around then because the technology didn't exist to rip-off........er, steal..........um, (coff) "sample" music until the 80s. Prior to the late 70s, bands/artists had to PLAY THEIR OWN MUSIC.
</personal opinion>
Anyone else think there may be SOME element of truth here, or am I WAAAAAYYYYY out in left field as usual
