Milman Parry's The Making of Homeric Verse (Oxford, 1971) and his student Albert Bates Lord's [The Singer of Tales*](https://www.amazon.com/Singer-Tales-Third-Hellenic-Studies/dp/0674975731/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=singer+of+tales&qid=1557622018&s=gateway&sr=8-1) (Harvard, 1960) (Holy shit! 3rd edition is coming out in October!) never cease to fascinate me. I think that they'd be even more interesting if I re-read them now, with an eye to hip-hop being a modern expression of a lot of the oral techniques that Parry and Lord identified in oral poets from Homer to the early 20th-century Balkans.
