    This was the first NATIONWIDE KNOWN rap song. Rap had been floating around in The Bronx since 1976ish. Blondie had the song RAPTURE in 1979 that had a rap(ish) section introducing the world to what rap might sound like. Debbie Harry introduced us to the Sugar Hill gang, Kurtis, then came the Fat boys, Run Dmc and The Beastie boys a couple years later.

    This song came out in September 1979. They sampled the huge hit by CHIC called “Good Times” which came out several months earlier and was the summer jam that year. You must check out CHIC as well which was lead by Nile Rodgers who produced many hits for Sister Sledge, Diana Ross, David Bowie, Madonna and many others. Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust also sampled the bass line of Good Times as well.

    NLT, Soul Train would have been around 10 years old at this time. It is important to remember that at the time of this song was on the tail end of disco as the era had been ceremoniously ended so much of the style and dancing you see in this video was influenced more by disco and would be followed up by the street dancing which is more similar to the lockin and poppin era.

    People weren't ready when this Song came out, they were blown away. They recorded it on Sugarhill Records Co Owned By Sylvia Robinson who was "Sylvia" of Mickey & Sylvia with "Love Is Strange". In the past she's been mistaken for being The Niece of Smokey Robinson because he too had a Niece named Sylvia but don't quote me on it. Some even say she is based on Cookie Lyon from The Empire Series but nobody knows for sure. They tried to make a comeback but to no avail but it did kick the door open for other Rap Labels from Def Jam, Bad Boy, and Roc A Fella. They also sampled The Music Of Good Times" By Chic Co Written by Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards. Nile Rodgers is an Icon in The UK working with everyone from Duran Duran, David Bowie (RIP), and he Wrote We Are Family & He's The Greatest Dancer for Sister Sledge. In future Years his Songs have been sung by Diana Ross, The Co-Ed Group Steps and Kimberley Walsh of Girls Aloud.

    I knew this record WORD FOR WORD. And the club was jumpin! And this was the first rap song ever. Trust me , I lived it. The very first rap song and everyone went crazy. And yes they did this on Soul Train and we went crazy. And the only difference between then and now is the subject matter. They rocked the house back then without cussing or disrespecting women. Younger generation please bring this back

    Man, back when rap first came out nobody seemed to think that rappers could actually SING. Check out this album (or I guess that would simply be Sugar Hill Gang's song "Here I Am" & "Bad News". You might cry, they're so beautiful

    Sugarhill Gang active since 73
    Grand Mast Flash active since 78.
    They both had their big break and a hit in 79.

    The Band Blondie had a song that was recorded this same year called Rapture. The song had some rap elements in it and was considered the first Rap Song to chart at number 1. Debra Harry, the singer, references Fab Five Freddie and Grandmaster Flash in the song. She was friends with them.

    The background music was sampled. Check out "Good Times" by Chic (1979). You'll what I mean.

    They didn’t have to curse or throw out their middle fingers every second. - I was there- this is the first rap hit ever - they can rap and dance continuously- more skills than many today by far. Everyone could dance together to this - more unity then!!

    We gotta bring music back into the public schools. Never know, might make a big difference for their future before we all kill each other by being so severely divided.

    There was a term used in the age of disco, "disco fingers". It is what happens when you snap your fingers too much. I feel like this is the song that made someone coin the phrase!! LOL! If this song didn't make you get up and dance, then you were just dead inside!! It was fresh and fun!!

    THIS IS THE FIRST rap song to have commerical sucess outside of NY, thanks to SYLVIA ROBINSON. There were plenty of albums out at that time, but SYLVIA had the connections to get the group noticed and played outside of N.Y.

    This was filmed at what was once a disco in north New Jersey - within a year it became a hard rock/metal club. Used to hang there all the time in the early 80s. I've always considered it the first rap song but some like to give Blondie the credit which I feel is incorrect.
