Toast vs. Rap

As someone unfamiliar with the subject, I'd like this encyclopedia article to discern between toasting and rapping. What's the difference -- and how did one lead to the other? Cribcage 21:17, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)

They're both talking over music, but toasting precedes rap. I intend to expand this page when time allows! Paul Tracy 14:09, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Oppose. "Toasting" can have two separate meanings: 1) African American folk poetry, or 2) Jamaican DeeJay shout-outs, but DeeJay (which includes toasting as well as ragga-style rapping) is strictly a Jamaican art form. Badagnani 21:15, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. See the Toasters for an example of Toasting. Deejaying is not close to the same thing.
