https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyting
>Flyting or fliting is a contest consisting of the exchange of insults, often conducted in verse, between two parties.[1]
>Flyting is a ritual, poetic exchange of insults practiced mainly between the 5th and 16th centuries. The root is the Old English word flītan meaning quarrel (from Old Norse word flyta meaning provocation). Examples of flyting are found throughout Norse, Celtic,[2] Anglo-Saxon and Medieval literature involving both historical and mythological figures. The exchanges would become extremely provocative, often involving accusations of cowardice or sexual perversion.
>In Anglo-Saxon England, flyting would take place in a feasting hall. The winner would be decided by the reactions of those watching the exchange. The winner would drink a large cup of beer or mead in victory, then invite the loser to drink as well
>Flyting became public entertainment in Scotland in the 15th and 16th centuries where makars would engage in verbal contests of provocative, often sexual and scatological but highly poetic abuse. Flyting was permitted despite the fact that the penalty for profanities in public was a fine of 20 shillings (over £300 in 2016 prices) for a lord or a whipping for servant.[6] James IV and James V encouraged "court flyting" between poets for their entertainment and occasionally engaged with them. The Flyting of Dumbar and Kennedie records a contest between William Dunbar and Walter Kennedy in front of James IV, which includes the earliest recorded use of the word shit as a personal insult.[6] In 1536 the poet Sir David Lyndsay composed a ribald 60 line flyte to James V after the King demanded a response to a flyte.

they invented battle rap, and then never used it ever again until after black people in the 60-70's
Trip hop. It's also better, because Europeans are better than Americans. I'm American, by the way.

Ayy. Flyting wasn't just insults either. It also including bragging about wealth and women you banged.

This is the same reasoning afrocentrics use to claim black people invented aeroplanes and nuclear fusion 5000 years ago.

If what you say is true.
people forgot poetry, blacks helped revitalize and bring it back to popularity. What would you be mad about this?
