Did Jewish-Buddhist rapper reinvent Hip-Hop?

I. Rony, Sheldon S., Ashley Wells (ed.), Wisdom Quarterly; Run DMC; Beastie Boys
His Holiness MCA with the 14th Dalai Lama, who was very happy American Adam cared.

White Folk Can't Jump

Mad respect to our Bodhisattva MCA
Man, why H*nkies gotta be stealin' everything da Black man makes? Now, hear me out! There was rock 'n' roll. That was Big Mama Thornton, nah. Hold up, wait-a-minute, not Big Mama. That was Sister Rosetta Tharpe's invention. She electrified her gheetar and rocked. She invented that. Brother Jimi Hendrix, he picked up where she left off. Then them British blokes picked up on the Blues and gave us the British Invasion. That's all it was, blues on electrified guitars. They'll tell'ya that. Jazz, don't even get me started on that shiznit. Blacks invented street dancing!

H*nkies just took that right up like street B-Ball. Everyone knows White Men Can't Jump. Now, check it. Da Bronx, da Seventies, who began to mix, lay the beat and rap over it like an MC? Who brought two turntables and a microphone to the block parties? One of the JuBu Beastie Boys? Maybe. Maybe not. Mad respect anyway, Man. RIP, Adam (MCA) Y.
