Bo Diddley Against Rap Music
Bo Diddley Against Rap Music
March 14, 2003
Blues Legend Bo Diddley Disses Rap Music . 'Diddley also performed his own style of "clean" rap: "Some folks say old Bo Diddley can't rap. I'm Bo Diddley and I ain't taking no nap."'
Rap has re-awakened poetry as an art form. I compare rap to Beowulf, because it has the same rhythmic character, and becase the Old English of Beowulf was also nearly impossible to understand, except to those who spoke that dialect.

You may be interested to know that Bo Diddley, one of the founding fathers of rock & roll and the popularizer of the world-famous "Bo Diddley beat", has just launched his new website and online store. The site, which with typical idiosyncrasy he has named "Bo Bo Diddley's Turnup Root", is located at http://www.turnup-root.com/
