Yeah... you're late to the party on that one.

IMHO.... rap music was started by country folk... it used to be called Square Dance Calling..... as in : grab your partner do see do.... swing her round there she goes..... while the band played a melody behind the "rap"..... 

but yeah... there are country songs on the radio now that have rap mixed into the music... oh the indignity of it all......

Yeah, I think I read somewhere that Public Enemy were highly influenced by Earl Scruggs.

Yup...Chuck D was addicted to "The Beverly Hillbillys" as a kid (he had a crush on Miss Jane of all people!) and he was eat up with the theme song as played by Flatt and Scruggs.  So much so he wanted to title PE's first album "Black Gold".  But, as usual, the record company had a different idea.

Ahem!!!


Bapu or BAPU may also refer to:
Bapu, a surname of Indian origin, originally meant "A Great Leader"

The hat is doubly royally doffed then Nay, triply, or quadruply, (I'll stop here).

I am humbled .....

Shortened names..... I played in a band one time where we played country and rock..... and for lack of a more inspired name, we combined the two styles...... country rock into ...


Krrock
