I'm doing a research paper about rap for history but due to my horrible googling skills, I havn't been able to find 5(required) sources for my paper.

Sources that cover(Preferably internet sources):
- first successful rapper (preferably american)
- how rap changed from the 1980s to 1990s
- origins of rap
- and rap's influence on other music genres

My 5th source was about Tupac Shakur and he obviously wasn't very difficult to find.

So if TL people could hook me up with some sources, that would be terrific =)

What type of course is this for? HS? College? Do you have access to any online libraries for your class?

Also try http://www.jstor.org/ if you have access to it. I'm not sure whether they'll have anything on rap, but its go-to site for legit sources.

To answer your question: I don't think there was really a FIRST MC. It just sorta evolved into the genre. First it was just DJs spinning breaks and every once in a while saying a little clever rhyme every once in a while. But I suppose you could choose the first MC to get a record deal.Afrika Bambaatta is a good choice.
EDit- Actually Sugar Hill Gang's Rapper's Delight http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapper's_Delight
is often cited. But apparently King Tim III was a few weeks prior http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Tim_III_(Personality_Jock)

If you refer to Lil Wayne, T.I., or any of that mainstream stuff, yes.

Otherwise, you don't know what you're talking about.
