He was a great poet, man! The way he was able to take a word and find another word to rhyme with it was the rarest art, like 'may-ah' and play'ah' - that's great stuff. He was the first poet to go with the concept of building meaning around words, instead of using words to describe meaning. What a genius. I think Muhammed started rap music, but some people still think it could have been Jack Webb in the movie 'The DI', back in the sixties, where the Marines would march and sing together, "I don't know but I've been told", and then they'd respond with something that rhymed with it, all the while marching at a fast pace without getting out of breath. Maybe it was Jack Webb and Muhammed Ali together who invented rap music. We should build a memorial to both of them. Tommy Joe
