Dear friends,
Freestyle hip-hop music didn't just fall out of the sky into some young African American's mind. Rather, young brothers [young to me :-)] like, for instance, Ja Rule (who is a master of freestyle hip-hop) actually represent the evolution of an earlier African American art form called scat singing.
Masters of scat like Ella Fitzgerald, and later Al Jarreau, knew/know how to make both the words and sounds flow from their mouths as syrup does from a bottle, while simultaneously, through great mental stamina, maintaining a linkage between all of the sounds that they're making and the music that they're hearing played.
One Love!
