The explicit connections between Rock and Roll and the African Diaspora comes out more in the music of Bo Diddley  than any ther musician.

Plus he rips on the axe.

Diddley "created" what became known at the Diddley Beat. He used African responses of call and responses and ea 3-2 clave rhythm.  that traces back to Afro-Cuban music and Yoruba drumming traditions in Ghana.

Diddley would play the dozens with tother band memebrs during live perofrmance and write lyrics about love, crime and raw street life...Sound like hiphop?
