Now that this post has taught me that Blowfly (undoubtedly insightfully) covered Otis wth "Shitting on The Dock of the Bay", I'm even more intrigued.
As to Grandfather/Godfather of hip hop, I'm not sure what that means. Β Gil Scott-Heron and/or Joe Tex are frequently cited as the originators of rap, but I've never seen Blowfly mentioned (prior to this thread). Β Is that a distinction between rap and hip-hop or did I just somehow miss this?
