Best Answer

The book "The Origin of Rap Music" was written in 1994 by a Philadelphia author named Robert Jr. James McClendon. He has had several articles published on Rap Music in the Philadelphia Tribune, Philadelphia Inquirer, and Philadelphia Daily News newspapers. He also recorded a cassette tape called "Rapologist Speaks '94" to teach people what is Rap Music and how to do it. People like Bakari Kitwani, Kool Moe Dee, Fab 5 Freddy, Run-DMC, Chris Rock, and many others have used his works without acknowledging this man, because he was serious about helping his people and did not fall in line with mainstream media. Robert Jr. James McClendon also coined "Hip-hop" as the acronym for "Helping Ignorant People - Hurt Our People" back in 1994. The media has tried to silence this man since 1994, but he can still be read and heard on the internet. The media has done everything possible to silence people like Robert Jr. James McClendon.

Who wrote the book The Origin of Rap Music in 1994?

"The Orign of Rap Music" was written by a Philadelphia author named Robert Jr. James McClendon. DMC mentioned the book on MTV in a 1994 special which used some of the inforamtion in the book. Fab 5 Freddy also used information from the book to tell his history of hip-hop on MTV. Bakari Kitwani used everything sent to "Source Magazine" from this author to write a book. Arseneo Hall received a copy of the book and invited Grand Master Flash to dispute his claim about "Jocko" and then had poet Maya Agelou come on to chastise the author about mentioning Jimmy "J.J. Walker as a part of Rap's history. Many folks have stolen from this author. This is the first book that ever critiqued Black music. Before there was a "Come On! People" and all of what you hear today, this author was saying the same thing Mrs. C. Delores Tucker was saying back on the early '90's, only thing he wasn't saying it for the money, like perhaps she was. The author of "The Origin of Rap Music" also released a cassette tape titled "Rapologist Speaks '94" that actually was sent to Black radio stations all across the country. Most memorable quote from his "Rapologist Speaks '94" cassette was - "If white people like it, nine times out of ten - it ain't real Rap Music". Now you see why they had to silence this man? He was known as Rapologist-Critic Robert Jr. James McClendon, aka "The voice of the one crying in the wilderness".
