Speaking of legendary comedians from the 1970-80's: Did you know Chevy Chase made a rap?

A few white guys rap, like Eminem, but are there any women?

In the UK the Hip Hop, Grime and electronic music scenes have always had a big mutli ethnic make up and that includes women. White people, just like the Canadian sound art pioneers who first started the plunderphonics experiments have always been a part of hip hop, and funk of course is full of white musicians and was reinterpreted by many bands in 1980's. Dance music of course completely decimates the argument that it is only black people who are funky. Listen to Derrick May, one of the Godfathers of techno talk about Kraftwerk and he is not talking about their cold and machine like demeanor, he talks about how he was inspired by how funky they were. Within the strict quantisation of dance music there is ample room for swing and groove. It's what separates the wheat form the chaff.

Here are a couple of British Girls who can spit it out along with the best of them

Sound of rum, she b flowin.

Hip Hop definitely- however...Hip Hop got its birth from cats like Grand Master Flash & Afrika Bambaata & the Soul Sonic Force..

so hiphop is kinda like the grandchild of Funk...So it's passes in my book.
