How about "Subterranean Homesick Blues" (1965)?
Those songs don't have the characteristic rap beat. Not that I can abide rap, but those Bob Dylan tunes don't make it as proto-rap.

Not the beat, but the rapid wordplay. Readi the lyrics to "Like a Rolling Stone" out loud. It cant help but turn into a rap (a highly intelligent version, anyway).

Love hearing that. If they heed the message of the song, they won't turn into the dejected subject in the lyrics.

It's the single best publication I've ever encountered on monster and other non-sport trading cards. Les Davis has been publishing The Wrapper since 1978:

I disagree. I don't think the Rolling Stones have much about which to be dejected.
