Found this dope 12' looking in a bookstore in Brooklyn this summer. I couldn't decide which side to put on here, the other is You're My Candy Sweet, another deep cut with an assortment of breaks. This song, though is considered to be the first rap single ever. And enjoy the video, project on the neighbors house?

  • I got the holy trinity of first recorded rap: 1. King Tim III - Fatback/ 2.Rapper's Delight- Sugarhill Gang/ 3. Christmas Rappin' (AKA Rappin Blow)- Kurtis Blow. In that order.

  • This is the first recorded rap song. Rappers Delight appeared on wax after this was out in 1979. For hiphop heads this was the real deal, rappers delight was a bunch of people using other peoples lyrics, not actual emcees. Casanova Fly a.k.a Grandmaster Caz was the original author of most of the song and he didn't even get credit. Ask Hank he knows who wrote that song!

  • Due honestly I thought that Sugar Hill brought the Rap into the music industry. My cousin told me that he was the 1st rapper to bring his spit to rap... If I'm wrong just let me know cos I'm old skool..Love to go back in time and listen to my oldies; even rappers..

  • Damn, I can't imagine a time when Hip-Hop didn't exist. How was that possible?? lol. Soo weird how a lot of genres are fairly new.

  • First Rap ever recorded PERIOD. Sugarhill Gang's Rapper's Delight was the second and reached the unheard of heights of # 36 on the charts at that time

  • @xFunkyGuyx189 no thats no trolling, but its hard to understand because i refer to german hiphop, everybody wants to be more gangster and more pornographic than the other one.

    Its good to hear real instruments with a beat you can dance to ;D

  • @CLewey44 I think it would be hard for this to sound like rap,,,,,because rap didn't exist, lol

  • @nzoneaffe Stop Trollin bro

  • primer pieza de rap...y joder ke línea de bajo

  • @CLewey44 Rapper's Delight was a disco track too (Good Times by CHIC), that's how it started bro.
