Rap is sometimes thought of as an evolution from the 'toasting' style favoured by Jamaican DJs. Also James Brown claimed he invented it. Some say the work of 1950s beat poets can sound uncannily like rap.

However, rap was invented by none of these, because the first commercially successful rap performance was by Avant Garde English Poet Dame Edith Sitwell when she performed her rhythmic-based poetry to the music of Sir William Walton live on stage in 1922 in their production of Façade.

Façade was recorded in 1954, making it the first commercially successful rap record.

Are you allowed to hit the volleyball two times in a row. If yes when?

In volleyball, a player is generally not allowed to hit the ball twice in a row. However, there are exceptions: if the first touch is an attempt to block, the player can hit the ball again immediately after the block as their team's first hit. Additionally, if the ball accidentally contacts a player's body in quick succession, it may be considered a single hit.
