Guys I know I need to do some reading on rap history but forgive my ignorance for now. Lol

From what I have heard,rap originated in the African American community. Now I wonder when all those things acenazt mentioned got into it. Acenazt makes rap look like performed poetry. Something we can call a beat-ful performance.
.
If rap truly originated from the Afro-community,then I wonder who injected the use of devices into it. I imagine the rap originators as a bunch of uneducated black kids. I wonder how all those things got it.
.
I'm not arguing but I'm just trying to get this clear.

Rap as a form of Hip Hop culture Originated from New York (East Side) in the 1970s. and I believe by then the kids from the Neighborhoods of New York I.e Bronx, Queens and Harlem were attending schools. you don't even need education to express ur self. it all depends on talent.
