Who were the earliest rappers?

Trauma-san:
John Lennon's "I Am The Walrus" sounds a whole hellova lot like rap to me.  "Tommorow Never Knows" had samples and drum loops in it, too, and all that shit was mid 60's.  John even dissed Paul McCartney in the early 70's on the Imagine album, a song called "How Do You Sleep?"... so I'd consider John Lennon the first rapper ever. 

Leggy Hendrix:

It's called Subterranean Homesick Blues and it's pretty much a rap. I am a Walrus isn't really rapping. Lennon might be using elements that are present in hip hop, but he isn't rapping much. Dylan raps the whole song.


Rapper's Delight defiantely isn't the first rap song. Walk This Way came out way before.
