@@Waltyworld This might be a shock for you and your fellow Americans, but not everyone in this world speaks perfect American, since they are not from the best country in the world, 'Merrica. Now, it is hard to explain the meaning of bi- or trilingual to someone like you, but at least I can assure you that those words are not new sexual orientations. Just a quick game of logic. What kind of ethnicity and roots do you think a person named "Claudio Cavallaro" has? What kind of language do you think is most likely his mother tongue as a 95 years old Italian (or Latino)? I'm generally curious if you are ignorant or Beavis and Butt-Head level stupid. Btw, English is my third language.

Está canción la escuché por primera vez en 1979, estaba en 2do de secundaria y verdaderamente me impacto el género, me fascinó, nos puso a los chavos en otra dimensión, fué el primer rap de mi vida, para los que creen que inventaron el rap en el 2000.

[@lobosantana1973]

El rap ya se escuchaba desde los 70's pero no se conocía así, se le denominaba música Disco, posteriormente evolucionó a Breakdance desde inicio de los 80's, en la película Xanadu se ven bailarines haciendo el breakdance, en la canción de Last Night a DJ Save Mt Life de Indeep también se nota el acentuado rap o manera de cantar, ya en 1984 se hizo famoso como Breakdance incluso con el baile. A finales de los 80's principios de los 90's se conoció ya como Rap y así pasaron los años hasta el día de hoy como se conoce.
