"Bummer in the Summer" by Love always struck me as a kind of proto-rap song.

Define hip-hop.

It would tax my head too much to give a good definition, so here's one from Urban Dictionary that sounds pretty good.

Typically, hip hop music consists of intensely rhythmic lyrical form making abundant use of techniques like assonance, alliteration, and rhyme. The rapper is accompanied by an instrumental track, usually referred to as a "beat", performed by a DJ, created by a producer, or one or more instrumentalists. This beat is often created using a sample of the percussion break of another song, usually a funk or soul recording. In addition to the beat other sounds are often sampled, synthesized, or performed. Sometimes a track can be instrumental, as a showcase of the skills of the DJ or producer.

Talking to the rhythm of the music. I can't think of a simpler definition. Although I'm sure everybody and their grandmother has a different definition of what it is.

No, those are good ones. It's way back in the early seventies too. Good thinking. �'� �'�

Of course there are The Last Poets -- first album: The Last Poets (1970) -- and Gil Scott-Heron, or are they too obvious?

I agree. That's one of the earliest examples I've heard so far. All the other earliest examples of rapping were country songs.
Like about 1971, 1972. I'm sure there's earlier examples but I'm not aware of them yet. There's a such thing as Talking Blues or something like that, but it was more like just plain talking over the music rather than rapping to the music. They just stop singing for a minute and started talking. Was more like spoken word then rapping.

I've never heard that Within Temptation song before. It was certainly unique. It's about the last place you'd ever expect to hear a rap solo. Was very interesting.
