Etc etc I agree Stu, I was just in Andalucia for the first time this summer and the parallels between flamenco culture and hip-hop culture are apparent. Living in Cleveland, which has a huge rap scene, I have made similar conclusions upon arriving back to the US about the connections between the two art forms. Many have denounced hip-hop as a music due to it's lack of virtuosity or talent, I would like to make the point that the genre is only a half century old, compared to flamenco, which is at least two centuries old and has had much more time to develop. Also, I think many have diminished the talent of rappers due to their distaste of the music or content, but rapping well is actually very difficult, especially if you get into freestyle rapping. When I was a teenager I spent a lot of time trying to rap, but failed horribly and went back to playing rock n' roll.
