If someone tells you that rap has roots in African American experiences, but epic poetry is based on Greek and Roman cultures, they are really ignorant and very wrong. Epic poetry is found in all cultures, going back to the Epic of Gilgamesh in ancient Mesapotamia. Beowulf is an Old English epic. African Africans have lots of oral epics such as Lianja. Rap is not epic poetry because it does not tell a story of a supernaturally great hero. The only reason that there are no African American epics is that nobody has got around to writing one yet.
