Although Debra Harry had a rap song, she couldn't rap. Anyone can make a rap song but not anyone can rap. Those who sustain are those who can rap. When a rapper leaves the biz instead of the biz leaving him, then that's somebody that can rap ie Rev. Run.

@tkodahawk Well, rap did became big alright. Liberalization of American culture in the later half of the 1960s & '70s led to the rise & peak of rap/hip-hop. The conservative backlash of the 1980s & somewhat the '90s couldn't end rap, because to be conservative is to protect freedoms of speech & expression without government regulating music or content. Rap turned more political sometime in the 80s & the gangsta rap phase in the '90s was rancid than what was sang then or made in the 2000s/now. +

Hip-hop/rap in 1981! When disco was dying, a new music form took its' place. It's replacing rock as the #1 genre of music in most of the world. Back then, it was controversial due to still evident forms of racism, classism & generational gaps. But its part of the African-American tradition of their own music: like rock before, evolved among them, then crosses every cultural barrier to become the mainstream form of American pop music. Rap/hip-hop described the urban black or Latino experience. +
