T-Rex: It's always struck me as weird that genres developed when they did. Why weren't people rapping until only a few decades ago? Did people in olden times just not like to hip to the hop, and then not stop?

T-Rex: Was rapping to the beat and trying to get you to move your feet not considered... viable?

T-Rex: It's the same thing with any genre and medium, really! How come nobody thought of science fiction until Verne wrote "Forsooth, diary! To-day I am going to invente scientifical fictionne!"? I want to listen to Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 11 in A major, K. 331, and I want a long dead man announcing yes yes to y'all over it. Why does history stymie me and my awesome wishes?

Utahraptor: You want to hear music from before the invention of recorded sound! Nice.
T-Rex: But you get the idea!

Utahraptor: But T-Rex, there's a huge number of societal and cultural factors to consider. For example, people SANG over music, and it's not that big a step from that to rap. I'm sure there were people experimenting in that direction throughout history, and it just didn't catch on for a variety of reasons.

Narrator: MEANWHILE, IN THE PAST:
T-Rex: Alright, this is a blues riff in B. Watch me for the changes, and uh, try to keep up.
T-Rex: "I said a hip, hop, the hippie, the hippie to the hip hip hop, and you don't stop!"
T-Rex: Mozart!! I SAID to watch me for the changes and try to keep up!
