My ear didn't adjust to rap before ten or twelve years ago.


When did rap really start anyway? I know it didn't all start with Death Row Records.


Edit: If anyone knows of any other documentaries about rap other than Tupac: The Resurrection I would be interested in watching them.

Hip hop's roots can be traced to the late 70s. First hip hop 'hit'.

It really isn't... but I guess it's hip-hop production, along the same lines as DJ Shadow?
