This week’s column is on the dicey issue of who “invented” rap, the great Blowfly, and the not-so-great documentary on the dude, The Weird World Of Blowfly.
According to the costumed, foul-mouthed parodist Blowfly, he “invented” rap music almost 50 years ago. He reminds viewers of this fact throughout Jonathan Furmanski’s documentary The Weird World Of Blowfly (in select theaters, and streaming on Amazon and iTunes), even dissing some early rappers (he refers to Kurtis Blow as “Kurtis Blow Job”) while receiving co-signs from a couple of legendary MCs. Ice-T calls Blowfly a “master” and Public Enemy’s Chuck D praises the filthy Miami soulster’s trangressive comedy as “futuristic,” even citing it as partial inspiration for “Fight The Power…”
