No Blondie did not invent rap.However they were among the first to recognize it.They saw it as a force to be reckoned with.Eventually,the world caught on...
First 'real' rap was Gil Scott Heron-"The Revolution Will Not be Televised". Suger Hill's "Rapper's Delight" wasn't mainstream in the sense that it was widely seen, liked and accepted by white middle class suburbanites. That's all this particular video did.
"Rapture" was certainly the first time that the non-US mainstream was exposed to the concept of rap. Culturally, it was a hugely important and influential record. Rap might have remained a US-only underground genre for a lot longer without it. I think it also did a lot to unite black and white street culture, certainly in Europe, where Blondie were widely perceived to have come out of the punk scene. The punk record stores, like Rough Trade in London, were the first to sell rap records in the UK
jesus fucking christ. this is a brilliant song, but debbie harry did not, i repeat, invent rap music. she's referencing other rappers IN THE LYRICS - this should be your first clue.
@etheral25 Please reread what I posted, I stated that. Rappers' Delight was the first rap song, but this did hit #1. It just wasn't the first rap song like people are saying. I guess I should've put "rap song or record" after "but it isn't the first"...my bad.
I was born in 1960 and turning into an old fart now. Man I have heard some good music in my times like this song. I too wonder if good music has declined or if I am just freeking old and don't want to hear anything new. I think of the concerts I have been to.....ACDC before and after, Molly Hatchet, Kansas, Queen, ZZ Top 3 times, Van-Halen and on and on. Yes I am bragging! Enjoy while you are young because you will ponder on your good times as you get older.
Ok, for those that are saying that "Rapure" was the first rap song to be heard in the mainstream, I'm sorry, but you're wrong. That honour goes to Sugar Hill Gang with the song "Rappers' Delight" This was the first to hit #1, but it isn't the first.
Rappers' Delight cme out a whole year before this song. Check any good song databases...hell, even wikipedia got it right for once.
@drkjk-It's not. Why? See the responses to the thousand other times on this thread that someone claims that this or that song is a rap song despite having no association to hip hop music.
@pimppez611 ...Rapture was more of a union between synth pop and hip hop..the rap came at the end of the song and Fab 5 Freddy came out. Even then, the chic world of art knew the artistry of the hip hop movement in New York was the next major wave that would sweep the 80s....the dichotomy was urban chic and if you saw the film, Wild Style, you would see the message.
Blondie brought Rap to the mainstream and this song was the 1st #1 Rap song, sure they was rap be4 this song, but no 1 ever heard it, then when Rapture hit the world nobody knew what it was and Debbie told them RAP and the rest is history. They wouldn't be any rap today if not for Blondie.
Am I to understand this correctly? Is Blondie throwing down with Old School rap? OK, bad rap... but still, Fab Five Freddie? That puts her at around 79 to 80 with Afrika Bambaataa, The Sugarhill Gang, and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five and maybe before the Beasites and Run DMC. WEIRD!!!
@LocumRex That's a stupid,ignorant,immature, and racist answer. She was doing rap before the copycat post Run DMC and Beatie Boys wannabe's jumped onto their commercial bandwagon. She was doing rap before rap became hip around mainstream world.
@BBQFanNo1 I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you have me at a disadvantage here. I'll concede to my ignorance, but can you elaborate as to what it was that made my statement racist? I just fail to see the connection? Was it because I made a comparison, with respect to era and genre, to Afrika Bambaataa and The Sugarhill Gang, and was suprised?
@LocumRex BBQ is so right, Blondie brought Rap to the mainstream and this song was the 1st #1 Rap song, sure they was rap be4 this song, but no 1 ever heard it, then when Rapture hit the world nobody knew what it was and Debbie told them RAP and the rest is history. They wouldn't be any rap today if not for Blondie.
Brain Crips what was when MTV was MTV and not reality crap..
I agree completely Krapsarov: Deb is sexy cool and had every man panting and longing for a gal like her.....today they are skanking hos....Deb had class, talent, and was freaking sexy... ROCK ON DEB
Listen closely @ the 1:41 point in the video. Blondie got this on the radio at the time as many PDs/MDs didn't catch the lyrics "and it's finger f&*&%$g" in this song...or did they?
@no1elofaniknow-When people talk about a rap song, they mean a song associated with the actual rap/hip hop street music that came out of NYC in the late 70s and exploded into public consciousness in the early 80s, the foundation of what became the global hip/hop phenomenon. Saying that so and so allegedly did a song that may superficially have had rap like elements misses the whole point.
Another song from Blondie that is almost impossibly good and I hate to say this, but sooo much better than the simplistic garbage that passes for music today. Perhaps in some far flung future music like this will get made again but I doubt it.
@lcowles: That depends on how you define "mainstream". The Sugar Hill Gang's 1979 song, "Rapper's Delight" (which sold over 2 million copies) was the first big rap hit and it predated Rapture's release on the AutoAmerican album by over a year. Not withstanding the fact that my handle is partially inspired by this very song...Blondie is STILL amazing...Peace :)
Everyone seems to forget that "rap" music was introduced to the mainstream music public in the early 80's by a "white woman" through this very song. Blondie deserves the credit!
Why was I born in 1993? Why not earlier?? I totally missed out!! WHY!?? I'm angry and I demand an answer!! Someone better tell me or sombody's getting a punch in the face! Clear, straight, square shot In the nose, no messing around!
@edn172 Sorry! U missed out..but I lived it for you..and I will take it to the grave, all those precious moments of my life..as they say, the best things of life are "FREE"
@edn172 I have seen the other replies, and some may have taken your comments negatively..I didn't..Hey! but these are the cards U were delt..so make the best of it, and U are right! U have your youth..So, U have one up on me..have fun! But we did have a good time back then! U will have yours!
@edn172 maybe if your parents would have had sex the same day they met maybe you would have been born in the early 70's and you would have been a teenager in the early 80's therefore you would have had a good chance of watching Blondie perform live in the 80's! Lol!
@edn172 Well, yes, if you'd been born earlier you would have experienced the joy and madness that was the 1970s, but then again, you'd also be 43 years old and realizing the future is not going to be as cool as you thought it would be. I lived through the 1970s and I want to go back!!!!!!!
@edn172 I thought the same thing about the 60's like rock was invented only back then until I listened to Bo Diddley. Then I was shocked advanced and ahead of their time they were even back in the mid 1940's to early 1950's with their guitar playing style. These guys were even before Chuck Berry came around.
@edn172 Yeah not to many good things happend during the 90s. All that happend was Rodney King got his ass whooped by a bunch of white cops, LA went up in flames April 29, 1992, O.J. got away with it, Kurt Cobain blew his brains out, And former President Clinton tapped that phat and fat intern ass because he could. Only things good I remember about the 90s were Doc Martens and SCRAMBLED PORN!
@dsfddsgh Nah, in my opinion more people acted douchey in the 90s but I was in high school at a predominately all white school in Orange County CA and got my ass kicked regularly because I was into rap and was not a "stoner" or a" jock". I was into rap more than anything WHEN RAP WAS REAL! Yeah I said it. The last ten years gave way to Indie music which is now giving way to this wierd retro 80s 90s indie blast from the past post-whatever trip out. Its cool its just makes feel like im on drugs.
@edn172 You would have to be born 30 years earlier and would now be complaining about being old. I'm 20 years older than you. Just count yourself lucky you were born late enough so as to not witness the decline of music in the 90s.
WHY WHEN THE CLASSICS ARE BEING PLAYED SOME IDIOT BRINGS UP LADDY CRAPP...SHE CANNOT COMPARE TO BLONDIE NOR ANY CLASSIC SINGER FROM THE PAST THOSE DAYS WHERE MUSIC NOT NOW THAT ALL THIER IS IS CRAAAAAAP!!!!! LADY GAGA IS FOR IDIOTS IM SORRY AND BE HAPPY FOR MAKING HER RICH WHILE U SIT ON UR ASS AND EAT JUNK FOOD ALL DAY POOR ..LOL

@hagopovski speakin of conservatism blondie doesn't have much of it either :\ for her time she was quite ...revealing if i could say :\ but still much better than this lady gaga <.<
I cant believe that I have to see Lady Ga Ga's name below every video. What happend? Who is she, that she has to be everywhere? She can't sing she can't dance. She only showing a bit too much of herself to the whole planet for money (not like she is alone with that in pop music). But why? why does everyone have to compare her to the really talented people?... And now I put her name here one more time...
@falconryforever I agree with what you said there. I Am sick to death of GaGa this and GaGa that! i have checked out her songs many a time and none impress me at all. To me she is bland and run of the mill trying to be something special and the kids today buy it all, and then some of them turn round and say the older stuff is bad!! This woman had real beauty real talent and real vocal skills...not many today have that.
Forgot this one ( the Vid ) ... near on 30 years old and ... before its time ... They all say M Jackson was a master of video ( preforming ) but this video preceeds most :p
@Gnawonit The first rap songs were done by William Shatner on his 1968 album, The Transformed Man. Search youtube for shatner tambourine and you can hear for yourself.
@acr08807-Doing (or at least attempting) dramatic readings of lyrics is not rap. However that album is in the so bad it's good category. I was laughing my ass off. Maybe Shatner's a genius.
"Rapture" may have had some rap firsts (such as the first rap video on MTV), but it was by no means the "the first rap song ever." Rap has a history that goes back as early as the 1920's. As a matter of fact, The Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" went Gold two years before Blondie released "Rapture."
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[f] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son

Then I was shocked advanced and ahead of their time they were even back in the mid 1940's to early 1950's with their guitar playing style. These guys were even before Chuck Berry came around.

@edn172 Yeah not to many good things happend during the 90s. All that happend was Rodney King got his ass whooped by a bunch of white cops, LA went up in flames April 29, 1992, O.J. got away with it, Kurt Cobain blew his brains out, And former President Clinton tapped that phat and fat intern ass because he could. Only things good I remember about the 90s were Doc Martens and SCRAMBLED PORN!

@dsfddsgh Nah, in my opinion more people acted douchey in the 90s but I was in high school at a predominately all white school in Orange County CA and got my ass kicked regularly because I was into rap and was not a "stoner" or a" jock". I was into rap more than anything WHEN RAP WAS REAL! Yeah I said it. The last ten years gave way to Indie music which is now giving way to this wierd retro 80s 90s indie blast from the past post-whatever trip out. Its cool its just makes feel like im on drugs.

@edn172 You would have to be born 30 years earlier and would now be complaining about being old. I'm 20 years older than you. Just count yourself lucky you were born late enough so as to not witness the decline of music in the 90s.

@Krapsparov
I cant believe that I have to see Lady Ga Ga's name below every video. What happend? Who is she, that she has to be everywhere? She can't sing she can't dance. She only showing a bit too much of herself to the whole planet for money (not like she is alone with that in pop music). But why? why does everyone have to compare her to the really talented people?... And now I put her name here one more time...
falconryforever 1 year ago
@falconryforever I agree with what you said there. I Am sick to death of GaGa this and GaGa that! i have checked out her songs many a time and none impress me at all. To me she is bland and run of the mill trying to be something special and the kids today buy it all, and then some of them turn round and say the older stuff is bad!! This woman had real beauty real talent and real vocal skills...not many today have that.

@Gnawonit The first rap songs were done by William Shatner on his 1968 album, The Transformed Man. Search youtube for shatner tambourine and you can hear for yourself.
acr08807 1 year ago
@acr08807-Doing (or at least attempting) dramatic readings of lyrics is not rap. However that album is in the so bad it's good category. I was laughing my ass off. Maybe Shatner's a genius.

"Rapture" may have had some rap firsts (such as the first rap video on MTV), but it was by no means the "the first rap song ever." Rap has a history that goes back as early as the 1920's. As a matter of fact, The Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" went Gold two years before Blondie released "Rapture."
