Is Bob Dylan’s “visions of Joanne” a rap song?


Aside from the content not being about the usual Rap music topics; the form, rhyming, rhythm, and singing are fundamentally the same. Listen to it again fresh with that thought in the back of your mind. Discuss this politely with me if you like, this an open question, not a statement of fact. I’d like to hear different opinions.

As the OP, I was only referring to genre, not race. I have heard that Rap is considered to evolve from the Blues. Bob did not create Rap, Elvis did not create blues. Wendy did not create classical. You may not ever hear Bob’s version of it on a Rap station or playlist, but I would love to hear a version of “visions of Joanna” done by a real rapper. Cross-genre songs can be quite interesting. 
Oh geez,  I don't think deadhead had any racist intentions.  Lighten up people.  There are enough real problems to get huffy about.

I don't think that the blues have much in common with rap.  I think rap is a new art form that developed out of computer technology and the desire of people who can't sing to perform.
Oh, and thank you Larryi -  your comments deepen the discussion I was hoping to have. 
two Harvard graduate i know are working on a synthesis of Shakespeare and rap, what could go wrong ? Deadhead good thread dude ,  keep on truckin…
