Possibly the first recorded rap song, done in 1937 by the Gospel Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet, and the Jubaliares. The preacher and the bear sound just like rappers delight done by the sugar hill gang in 1979.

  • Man this is the nuts! Brilliant. It fits perfectly with Rappers delight choon. You could well be right about the first rap in the history of rap. Even without the music, he is def rapping - even if they didn't call it that then.

    Thanks.

  • @djgee101 That was exactly my first reaction!

    You are Welcome.

  • Its not a fake. Thats why I listed the sources. You can buy the original recording (from 1937) On itunes. There is a link to buy the original song from itunes at the bottom of the video.

    The writing explains that the people in the video are from the Jubaliars (also on youtube). That video is from 1941, and is remixed over the 1937 recording of the Golden Gate Quartet. The fact that the video halfway syncs with the recording proves that they were both rapping the same song, in the same style.

  • It's so fake if this is true then remove the writing :)

  • @HTprods did you read the video

  • @HTprods Read what comes up on the video. The background is from 1979, they added it in.

  • How come the backing sounds so new then?

  • Sounds like the talent show song from revenge of the nerds

  • Is that DR. Dre?! xD <3

  • @thealaa16 You're an absolute retard. 2pacs career was from 1988-1996, way nearly 20 years after Rappers delight came out, which wasnt even the first known rap song of the time. And this may have well inspired it, meaning the earliest rap song couldve come from the 1930s. Please research before you declare deathly in-accurate claims.

  • @Nomad7672 really cool how you put it together, very wel executed. May SOPA not take this down.

  • u fucking stupid 2pac made the rap not this fucking shit 

  • this is a lot better then Justin Bieber rap :D

  • @AngryAtTechnology75 I you paid attention to what writing said on the video you'd notice that he said that the original sounded alot like Rapper's Delight so he edited the original to make it sound more new
