Check out Oscar Brown, Jr. sometime. He does a version of Signifyn' Monkey that you can actually sing in public - I have sung it at church coffee houses! If you ever get a chance to hear his "Man Earnest Boy" on his "tells It Like It Is" album, you will here the original rap song (circa 1961) - AND you will LIKE it!
