GUEST,dodobird	Blues vs Rap (136* d)	RE: Blues vs Rap	15 Apr 05
I have been checking out the neo-science of memetics lately, which argues that culture spreads through thought or idea replicators called memes. This point of view is especially attractive to me because of my maturing appreciation for folk music of all kinds. I decided to google the words meme and rap and I was pulled into an article in the Ohio University African American Studies Black Praxis web pages, entitled "Applying Memetics to the Historical Understanding of the African Diasporan Music Culture of North America." I found this article to be an example of "meta-rap" of the highest order! Enjoy! http://cscwww.cats.ohiou.edu/aas/blackpraxis/articles/frank1.html Applying Memetics to the Historical Understanding of the African Diasporan Music
