Dylan's Homesick Subterranean Blues is the precursor to what we now call "rap" music...

Don't overlook the fact that his sequined suit today would be described as being "gay". So it wouldn't fit the conventional "rap" image.
Hank Snow once said "I've been everywhere, but I never even wore a condom".
