6 years old in 1979 living in Puerto Rico heard this song and got the 45 out of the jukebox from the Bodega across the street from my house and played it nonstop. My introduction to Rap music
On record, this might be the very first actual rap music video. Rap began during the disco era mostly as a street art, but in terms of main stream notice. Joe Bataan is a pioneer if not one of The Godfather’s of Rap along with Rudy Ray Moore, but Joe’s success was entirely overseas in Europe and Latin America.
I totally agree. Been obsessing over 79 and earlier rap since middle school and I can’t think of a single rap song from this early on with as much international attention
No he isn't. He just picked up on the cutting edge music rooting up in the black world from people with no record deals, just their hoods listening to them, totally different from everything he'd been doing up to that point, tossed in some disco, and decided to make some money out of it. He's no godfather of rap, more like a Bill Haley of rap.
So long ago... Those are grandmother's and great grandmothers dancng in the background now... seems like just a few years ago... Enjoy life and experience it to the fullest, when and while you can ✅

É amigo eu também tinha a tua idade , pra falar a verdade levou 39 anos para eu encontrar esta música , eu nunca esqueci quando foi lançado este LP pela som livre o nome era And now funk final de 1979 e sucesso completo em 1980 , namorava uma garota da minha sala de Aula era Carmem Lúcia ,e esta música tocava no parquinho de diversões que nos víamos a noite saudades , um belo dia eu entrei em uma loja em um bairro vizinho para comprar botão de roupa e quem era a proprietária a qual me atendeu a primeira namorada de escola Carmem Lúcia e eu disse isto a ela : você foi a primeira namorada de escola que eu tive e ela respondeu eu sei e me lembro , tempo maravilhoso eramos felizes e não sabíamos .
Yo tenia 17 años en aquel año 1979 y ese año se alinearon los Planetas con la Musica Disco!!! Mi recuerdo para el D.J Eduardo del Boliche Zodiaco que nos brindo toda esa hermosa Musica,la Musica de toda una Vida.
Wow, I never heard this. Guess after his latin soul career slowed down, he had to do something. Along with the fact that disco was being hated on, e.g., the Chicago baseball event called "disco demolition night," it turned into a riot.

Aquí nació el verdadero Rap, seguido por Blondie en su cancion "Rapture", privilegiados los que pertenecemos a esa fantástica década de los 80"S, donde el talento era real y natural, hoy Agosto 2022 me deleito escuchando tan emblematico tema, saludos desde LIMA PERU´..
Adoro essa música, como disse o companheiro, até que enfim achei essa música, também lembra a minha infância, parabéns a quem postou, isso sim era música, não as que tem hoje em dia, não se entende nada, obrigado.
Yes, but I see him more as a forefather of NY Salsa. He was certainly within the Electric Boogaloo movement that transformed into Salsa. However, great musician & massively underrated.
Whoever those background singers are, they killed it!

I met Joe at FLACS spring concert it was AMAZING
questa fantastica canzone la sentivo sempre in una telenovelas come mestizo
I hadn't listened to this song in almost 40 years.
Bring back memories from growing up in Puerto Rico, this great song played everywhere.
This and "Rapper's delight" which started it all. Cheers from France amigo !
Idem ao comentário abaixo. Muitos anos atrás dessa música. É sensacional. St. Louis. Sem palavras
Era pra quem sabia dançar e adorava e adora as minas como se dizia nas gírias da década . Do disco Som livre and now funk final de 1979 sucesso completo em 1980 .
Soundiong as fresh as ever!!!! Great tune 🙂
Excelente performance dancyng

Rimane sempre un brano bello

When I hear rap hailed as the "youngsters music"… Sorry, but this is what, more than forty years old ? And still just as fresh…
Who needs the BBC when you've got Top Pop 😂❤

“Is known in Egypt is known in Rome” by now is known around the world. Nothing like the 70s & D 80s.

Fiz 13 anos em junho de 1979. A Disco ainda rolava solta, com influências no Rock e na música brasileira.
yo tenía en esa época 17 años el vino para Guayaquil Ecuador
Purement lyonnais ❤️
Fantástico!!

Question: Who has this in their playlist now? Or back then even. I'm just asking.
MAXIMOOOOOOOOOO BEAUTYFULLLLLLL
Yes 👍
just saw his interview Jocelyn Brown is the female singer 💯
Was this the first Official “rap” song recorded? Like after the label of rap was given?
Ring my bell everybody,...what an invitation :-)
Big funk song yes
So uncool its actually cool 😂
Se la llevo el tiburon el tiburon!!!
this is pretty cool, but honestly, a kid from holland did a version called repper de klep based on this song and have to say: its dynamite
