It is suggested that rap music rose out of Hip Hop performances and the street scene in 1970's New York City. This is perhaps when the art form became recognized as a separate style, when it was identified as Rap; however, there are examples of Rap that can be identified in a variety of genres of music as far back as music has been recorded. The style has changed, much as modern rap has over the decades, however, the style is not unique to any one genre or ethnic group, but transcends all.

A few examples of rap can be seen in the country music style of Johnny Cash (from 1955 until his death in 2003), The Seekers - 1963 "The Wreck of the Old 97" (Remix of the original Vernon Dalhart 1924 version), Woodrow Wilson "Red" Sovine - 1976 "Teddy Bear," William Dale Fries, Jr. (C. W. McCall) - 1976 "Convoy."

From Jazz, it can be heard in the voice of the great Louis Armstrong, the queen of jazz and soulful music Lena Horn, the haunting voice of Billie Holliday.

The Carribean has given us Harry Belafonte, Peter Tosh, of course Bob Marley.

From Gregorian and Medieval chants.

The list is nearly infinite. Influences and examples of rap and rap-like music can be easily pulled from the entire recorded history of music.
