    First things first. Teena Marie was the 1st female artist to rap on a record. Secondly at the time only her and Patrice Rushen were given complete control on their albums...just like Prince. Only Stevie Wonder have more signature songs than Teena Marie.
    Her music catalog is breathtaking, and she should be in the Rock n Roll hall of fame...imhop. I love you guys reactions and I just subbed ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

      I thought so because I can't remember any others at that time. In fact there wasn't really a lot of male r&b acts doing it either. Rap music wasn't being fully accepted then and a lot of radio stations didn't like playing music that had rapping in them. And she dropped 3 verses on a record that was already close to 7 minutes long.

      Are you saying "Funk You Up" wasn't a hit? You must not know your history. Rolling Stone magazine quoted that this song was a "nationwide smash, serving as the first rap hit performed by women." It was also the third rap song at that time to hit the top 50 Billboard charts. I Love Teena Marie, but she shouldn't get "OG" status for being the "only woman" rapping at that time, as she definitely was not.

      If I'm correct, her lil' rap in Square Biz was the first rap ever in an R&B song (not talking about rap from a real rapper like Kurtis Blow or Sugar Hill Gang).
      As I understand it Square Biz came out in 1981, the first major rap cuts (from Sugar Hill Gang and such) dropped in 1979-1980, Motown had zero rappers signed and had to do something. So Rick and Teena threw it in n this song and Barry Gordy liked it.....

Definitely the first rap in an R&B song; as far as the first female, I don't know who came first; Teena Marie or Blondie in "Rapture"; she was hanging out with Fab 5 Freddie at the time and even mentions him in her short rap at the end of her song.

      I'm from Chicago, and the first one we ever heard was "Rapper's Delight". Those were the days, cold pizza and cheap beer in college (I'm dating myself!!), best of times.

      @@dxwallace55 Hi Doug! Funny about the white women respecting it and incorporating it into their music, isn’t it? 😄 I was always into music; even as a really young child; parents had me very young and had great, broad music taste, so heard Motown, Sly and the family Stone (live outdoors at like age 6, lol) to Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones. Then, from about 11 and up I was hooked by Disco & R&B, Funk; NYC had great radio then, I lived in the Bronx and then Brooklyn; and I listened to the “black/urban” stations as they were called then; we had 3 great ones; once hip hop/rap entered the scene, it got airplay, so I was listening from the beginning; we all were, unless you were one of the “rock only” kids that always struck me as angry; outsiders of sorts; Always loved to dance, too so music such as Africa Bambaata really fit the bill! By the time I was about 20, I could not get enough Public Enemy, Eric B. And Rakim, EPMD, KRS-One, and really never stopped until the music started to lose it’s feel of authenticity; the mass produced Trap and Mumble of today doesn’t have the Bass, the hooks and the messages that I feel are necessary; maybe I’m getting old, lol.

    Oh yes!!! Man, y’all are in for a treat!!! Teena Marie got a whole catalog of awesome work!!! She wrote all of her songs and composed all of her music!!! Rick James was the one who discovered her and signed her to Motown right away!!! She had the largest African American fanbase out of any blue eyed artist!!! She was known as the Queen of Ivory Soul!!! Her next song I would love for y’all to react to is called “Portuguese love”!! Here’s the link to the song:

      Growing up on Old School Soul/R&B and knowing the genre inside out, I can say for sure Teena was [and still is] well respected in the R&B/Soul circles. Black people over 40 got this thing with music, it's kinda like, if you can come in, and make us bob our heads and groove, and just be true to your self (as opposed to being phony like Vanilla Ice), then we'll accept you, music before skin color. We had that mindset with some other talented white artists like Hall and Oates and the mostly white Average White Band, and some others. Teena was simply a very talented, not just singer, but musician.
      Funny thing about my perspective with Teena, I find her stuff still sounds good to me today, but when I listen to Rick James, though he was my boy back in the day, I'm not really feelin' his stuff in 2021.
