Where did rap music originate?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Rap was first given national recognition by the Grammy Awards in 1989. The Fresh Prince, or Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff won the first one. (Remember "Parent's Just Don't Understand"?)
