The appearance of 'rappers' would have been shocking simply because of their appearance. The first rappers, black men, would have stopped people in their tracks. Their dialectic style would have made communication very testy.



The end of WWI ushered in the 20's Flapper Era and introduced a number of music and fashion outrages. Ladies in short spangled dresses kicking up their heels, smoking from long cigarette holders and staying up all night were frowned on by ladies but loved by men.



Perhaps rappers would have been frowned on by men and loved by ladies.



The years leading to and through WWII were poor and austere for many people. Hemlines went back down. Jazz was one of the major entertainments for soldiers in the U.S. and Europe.



Jazz musicians Louis Armstrong, Pearl Bailey, Ella Fitzgerald, and Pearl Bailey and many others were very popular and featured in films..



It's difficult to imagine Rap innovation without it's progenitors:



Jazz

Doowop

Rhythm and Blues

Soul (Blue eyed and otherwise)

Funk
