I know the first rap song is not by Blondie! My new question is are you serious?

Answer 1

Huh?! 2 pts.

Answer 2

Blondie did not even do the first white rap. That was done by Ian Dury & The Blockheads in the late 70's.

From: Allmusic.com
Originally released as a nearly ten-minute 12" single that was, deservedly, a huge club hit on both sides of the Atlantic, the infectiously danceable "Reasons To Be Cheerful, Part 3" (no, there's no parts 1 or 2) is one of Ian Dury's most beloved tunes. (It's since been the title track of more than a couple of his best-of compilations.) Over Chaz Jankel's all-time greatest dance groove, Dury basically invents white rap, a full two and a half years before Blondie's "Rapture," and for that matter, before anyone outside of northern New Jersey had heard the Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight"! The lyrics are a stream-of-consciousness list of a few of Dury's favorite things, and a huge part of the fun of the song is appreciating the references one recognizes and exploring further those one doesn't. It's an utterly brilliant single, quite possibly Ian Dury's finest work ever.

Answer 3

Rapper's Delight was the first rap song.....Rapture by Blondie came out after that...I think technically they called it a rap song because Debbie Harry rapped in it....the video also featured a rapper ( I just can't remember who off the top of my head)

Answer 4

Rappers Delight-Sugar Hill Gang

Answer 5

The first rap record to make it big was “Rapper’s Delight” released by the Sugar Hill Gang on Syliva and Joey Robinson’s Sugar Hill label.

Answer 6

The rapper in Blondie's "Rapture" video was Fab Five Freddie.

Answer 7

Maybe it wasn't *the* first song, but it was one of the early influences.

"Harry's vocal performance (on "Rapture") included a lengthy rap, and was one of the earliest hip hop-influenced songs to achieve mainstream success in the U.S."
