No I really doubt it, most of the melodies and arrangements behind the the original pioneering rap songs were sampled from R&B music. It is what made rap back then so intoxicating. Now you can't hear any R&B without HipHop plastered all over it. How ironic. R&B created Hip hop and Hiphop eventually killed it.
