Wrap and Rap
I was wrapping Christmas presents one year listening to Dr. Dre’s platinum CD when it occurred to me that wrap as in putting something around a present, and rap, as in telling a story with rhythm as the carrier signal into ones soul, were very similar. Wrapping is hiding a present in a happy paper that breeds and incubates curiosity a precursor to opening the gift and causes one to enjoy it more. Rap music wraps a story within with a beat and a poetic vocal structure that incubates fascination and curiosity of what their going to say next. Fascinating.
