he “floats like a butterfly , stings like a bee”, and signified w. bush was crazy. Ha! decades before I heard Jocko Henderson’s 50’s rapping, Clarence reid’s “dirty rap’ also in the late 50’s,before i heard The last poets in the 60’s , and  ”rappers delite” in ‘79 kicking off hiphop worldwide, Muhammad Ali had me mesmerised while watching tv as a tiny tot …i didn’t even know he was a boxer..but everytime I heard him being intervied ..it was in rhyme and for me..he was the original rapper. image from ;blackcontemporaryart-Lady miss Kier…www.ladykier.com
