I do see the resemblance to rap, but it also strikes me as story-telling in a song. Like mally I would say that there are lots of other songs with a similar sound. I'm also thinking of old folk-type songs.
Maybe audiogen is right - it should only be considered rap once you introduce MC's and DJ's specifically.Comment

If this is rap a lot of stuff in roots reggae is rap. It has its own term though. Well, there are several. You also have 'toasting'. I googled a definition:
Toasting is defined as a style of lyrical chanting which — in Dancehall music and reggae — involves a deejay talking over a riddim ("rhythm")
