In some spaces, "King Tim III" is recognized as the first recorded rap song. Of course we know that rap had been around for at least 6 years prior to this recording. But unfortunately none of those early rap songs were recorded.
This is the 1st Hip Hop record to be released even if it was released by a funk band. Peace to Queens NY. There was singing, harmonizing, spoken word, poetry that was similar or very close but not the same rhyme scheme patterns.
For rap recordings you can go to Pigmeat Markham Here comes the Judge in 1969. That even has a funk beat so could be considered hip hop. Going back much further the rap style can be heard in Jubilaires song Noah.
@@laartwork Pigmeat did not influence rap in any way. Not even a little bit. New York ngas didn’t listen to Pigmeat. PIGMEAT MARKHAM WAS BORN IN 1904! He was in his 60s when he made the album they call the first rap album. It wasn’t. It was just an old funny country dude rhyming. Then it was over.
To be clear…. Hip Hop was around 6 years prior. Not rapping! NOBODY RAPPED IN 73! It wasn’t invented yet. Herc and the Herculoids were not rappers. They didn’t know how to rap. They made announcements over thumping beats. No rhymes.
In its proper context…. This may have been the first recorded rap recorded, but every rhyme he said was at least 3 years old. And he made up none of it. He just took what was already “Old” and put it on wax. They are “The Fatback Band!” A dope ass funk RnB group. So since they had access to studios they could put something together and put it on wax BEFORE street cats (that made it up). Could. All those rhymes were already old. Even in 79.

Thanks for this! What an unfortunate loss for history and culture.
