T-Rex: Even with classical music, there's a BEAT. There's a FLOW. The question is obvious:

T-Rex: WHY wasn't rapping invented SOONER??

T-Rex: And I KNOW every generation thinks it's invented the final form of art and I KNOW that hasn't been the case yet and probably isn't now but still! RAP! How did we invent "singing to a beat" and fall down on "talking over a beat"? How did NOBODY say "hey Mozart, your beats are so fresh, check it out" and then start dissing his wife?
T-Rex: In RHYME??

Utahraptor: Probably because they all got shushed at concerts if they tried.
T-Rex: Oh, probs!

T-Rex: And PROBABLY the advent of recorded sound made it possible for people to explore creativity without requiring a live musician to support them which allows art forms outside established power structures to flourish AND SO ON AND SO FORTH, but still.
Utahraptor: Still!
T-Rex: STILL.

T-Rex: I gotta believe in my heart of hearts that the #1 coolest dude in the Holy Roman Empire was spitting mad fire in his head at the ol' Mozart concert, you know??
Off panel: And you believe he's an ancestor of yours?
T-Rex: PLEASE. All the best historical figures are
