Well... it's the 1960s.
There's certainly two which comes to my mind, as we had initially heard them on WKNR "Keener" radio in Detroit, back when:

"TRAMP" by Otis & Carla (1967)
"SKINNY LEGS AND ALL" by Joe Tex (1967)

Both--
of these oldies R&B 'classics' were interspersed thruout with 'chatty' monologues, but equally, they were not necessarily 'rap' by definition in the least bit, back when in 1967, and, they were definately not the standard 'rap' that is (universally) 'recognized' and 'accepted' in the recording business today... here, in the present.
