  • IDIOTS....they're not saying Blondie invented rap. They're saying alot of people(mainstream) at that point in time discovered rap because of that Blondie song......

  • @joedivision1992 NO SHE IS NOT

  • @joedivision1992 Via TV Party, the relationship between Blondie, Fab 5 Freddy, and Basquiat was the conduit for Hip-Hop to become a commodity, exposing Hip-Hop beyond the South Bronx/Harlem parks. Blondie's Chris Stein is the primary musician on all of Wild Style, and Blondie with Freddy recruited Funky 4 + 1 to appear as the first Rap act on Saturday Night Live. So, yes, aside from Sugar Hill/Enjoy/et al, Blondie and Freddy are largely responsible for Hip-Hop being available to us.

  • Rap use to tell a story. Now its all bullshit! Nothing but death threats, money, hos -- BULLSHIT!

  • This makes me wanna sub to your channel...

  • hahahahaaaa!!!
