Hiphop always refers to Bob Dylan as the white Nas :

its nowhere near the first but music historians often try to call subterranean homesick blues a rap song. i can sorta see it but it sounds more like really fast 'talking blues' to meDylan is the truth.
Masters of War
In his Chronicles biography he talks about Ice-T and Chuck D multiple times as "real truth tellers" and "where it's at".
i wonder what his actual initial response to public enemy and ice-t was. like if he understood where they were coming from, or if it was something he warmed up to over the years

I can't answer that and it wasn't at me lol but Lou Reed the bluesy singer from Velvet Underground.
He was the biggest rap fan and used to praise its greatness and importance. I find that interesting he probably liked rap since ATCQ sampled him lol.
I wouldn't find it too far fetch that Bob Dylan would appreciate the creativity and originality in past rap music.

Have never seen or heard Dylan referred to as the white Nas. Have never seen or heard Dylan referred to as a variation of any artist who came after him.
Dylan was always down with the civil rights movement. He was at the million man march (if I'm not mistaken, can't look it up now).its nowhere near the first but music historians often try to call subterranean homesick blues a rap song. i can sorta see it but it sounds more like really fast 'talking blues' to me

Sam's a "A Change is Gonna Come" is a tribute to Dylan's Blowing in the Wind for Bob singing this:
How many years can some people exist, before they're allowed to be free?
and how many times can a man turn his head, and pretend that he just cannot see?
I might've gotten those wrong.
My point is not that he's some super revolutionary, but I don't think he needed much warming up. He was talking about similar things before HipHop was a thing.
