Reply to comment by kozmonyet in TIL Rap can be Traced Back to the 1940s, to a Gospel Group Called The Jubalaires by OdinDCat

Yeah, I remember a TIL that was basically about vikings having rap battles against one another. There was diss track levels of poetry in Rome and other historical societies as well

Personally tho I theorize that all edm music can be traced back to James Brown, due to his use of rhythm and loops

Funk may or may not have been a base for house, it most definitely was for hip-hop: tons of samples were taken from old funk and soul records (the Amen-break being used the most, but Funky drummer and others being not far behind).

EDM is basically modern disco. Disco has strong ties to early R&B. You might be onto something.
