Muhammad Ali: World's Greatest Hip Hop Pioneer
By: Mosi Reeves/Rolling Stone
The funky delivery, the boasts, the comical trash talk, the endless quotables: As a rhyming trickster in the early Sixties, the greatest boxer who ever lived was also a cornerstone in the early development of hip-hop music. "Without Muhammad Ali, there would be no 'Mama Said Knock You Out, and the term G.O.A.T. would have never been coined," LL Cool J tells Rolling Stone. Generations of youth who grew up during the hip-hop era may have missed out on his boxing exploits in real time, but his outsized personality has been experienced through countless black-and-white newsreels, TV and film documentaries and four-color adventures likeSuperman vs. Muhammad Ali, the classic 1978 comic where the heavyweight champion of the world demolishes the Man of Steel. To this day, his poetic flights of whimsy sound as fresh as ever.
