Let's hope that modern music is in a state of flux and will eventually evolve into something better. (I guess things are always changing.) I was listening to some of the old "talking blues songs" recently, ala Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan, Woddy Guthrie, Johnny Cash (especiallly "I've Been Everywhere, Man"} and I couldn't help but hear "rap" in there somewhere.

I'm not a mucicologist but I would bet that rap and talking blues hearken back to something from the roots of music; let's just hope that it evolves into something better.
