You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Let's see....This song is just one of many in history to have spoken vocals. You can take a billion Bob Dylan 60's songs and call them rap...and many Johnny Cash songs. There were also tons of rap songs recorded on small labels in the late 70's that were out before this. So calling "Devil," the first rap song is wrong on so many accounts, I won't even bother arguing any other points.

The devil's violin part was always better than anything Johnny was throwing down.
