For instance R&B began as a form of the delta blues, but instead of accompanying yourself on say guitar ala Son House, you had a rhythm player, hence Rythm AND Blues, then it became a form of Soul music, and now we see it as a form of Rap/HipHop today.

Somebody should reattach the 'Blues' to today's R&B mix and have a HipHop Delta thing. I've recorded stuff that gets close to this, but I'm not well versed enough in today's commercial culture to get it right.
