uhm, you suggesting black artists/listeners not enjoy melody? take a listen -

youtube.com

also, re rap, it is hardly new. you might harken way back to celtic bards who had to memorize 'poems' and recite them, sans music. rather 'rappish'. i laugh when late 20th century rap artists suggest they 'created' something new. the speaking of poetry is as old as personkind is.

and i venture to say that the different ways of learning are not race oriented but personal oriented. i learn from sound not reading, for instance.

but really when you are talking rap within the black music community you are talking not very long ago. it means nothing in terms of black musical history and the history of 'rap' is more white than black, ala celtic rather than anything from africa, yes? celtics simply chanted/rapped their words.
