    Blondie was a very big commercial band at that time so their role in mainstreaming rap really can't be denied. Regardless, the only thing I really object to is this idea that everrything was so calculated. They didn't know Rapture would be a hit. And they certainly didn't know that hip hop would become a global force. They did the song because they thought it was interesting. They were underground. They did shows like TV Party and hung around with Basquiat. There was no clever master plan.

    @joedivision1992 Via TV Party, the relationship between Blondie, Fab 5 Freddy, and Basquiat was the conduit for Hip-Hop to become a commodity, exposing Hip-Hop beyond the South Bronx/Harlem parks. Blondie's Chris Stein is the primary musician on all of Wild Style, and Blondie with Freddy recruited Funky 4 + 1 to appear as the first Rap act on Saturday Night Live. So, yes, aside from Sugar Hill/Enjoy/et al, Blondie and Freddy are largely responsible for Hip-Hop being available to us.

    Back in 80s, when the ONLY time saw Black people on television was if 1) they were reporting crime, or 2) filling stereotypes on sitcoms, or 3) when a local news station was reporting the "latest craze happening in the inner city ghetto". It was usually cringe, but what could you do? You were happy to see people who looked like you on television. I don't miss the 1980s.

Debbie Harry messed up his name but Freddy dig the name so much, he kept it like that. Blondie also invited The Funky Four Plus One More to performed on Saturday Night Live back in 1981. Back in the days, if New York artists see some talent, they'll give you support and tell the world pay attention to this.

    In many ways, rap's longevity is due to marketing and image. It's the same with a lot of different kinds of music. There's a core group that really appreciates music, and people who just want to be cool. The cool people bastardize the music itself, but they make it possible for the core fans to hear their music in the radio. As rap became more and more popular, it was less and less about the music. Same with rock n roll.

    That's too revisionist. This program was made at the time and says the opposite. Rapper's Delight hit No. 36. The Breaks hit no. 87. Rapture in contrast was No. 1 in the US for two weeks. It definitely did more than just a little to introduce this style to mainstream audiences and also to show its commercial potentional (national as opposed to regional; top of the national charts as opposed to the specialized charts). It's a milestone no matter how we slice it.

    Considering that Chris Sten and Debbie Harry went to rap events well before Rapper's Delight came out (Nile Rodgers has said that his first experience with hip hop was accompanying them to such an event), your bandwagon statement is drivel. And you are not jumping on the commercal bandwagon when a song peaks at No. 36. Rap at the time was still restricted to certain urban centers, primarily NYC. (Show me all those LA and Chicago rappers in 1979). Blondie helped bring it into the mainstream.

    Here is a TRUE history lesson of the origin of hip hop. it is very clear hip hop and rap music is African Americans culture and music created and originated by African Americans not carribeans or kool herc. he moved to america at age 12 in 1967. around the time hip hop was bubbling up. you telling me he brought hip hop culture or music with him. Herc didn't create or originate nothing in hip hop including extending break beats or the merry go round the made up name he created for it. he leaarned all of that from african americans. he just wants to be in the history books. he used to tell the truth early on. he said he used to attend disco parties and the djs were playing break beats while the people there were breakin and yes that was the term used in 1970 for break dancing. being done before herc. he wasnt the first to do anything in hip hop including his merry go round technique. disco djs at disco clubs would extend the breakdown of records for as long as 20 minutes to get the kids to get funky or break dance. That is what break dance means to dance on the breakdowns, djs would loop the break from turntable to turntable while the kids got funky on the dance floor break dancing. soul train was started in the late 60s in chicago as traveling record hops by Don Cornelius, where he traveled around to different venues putting on his dance record hops. the show went live tv in 1970 were young kids dance to the latest funk soul rnb music. the soul train line literally was the dj playing extended beats of records while the soul train dancers would do the latest dance crazes like poppin pop lockin robot breakin and hundreds more dance crazes. that was watched by millions. this was the early foundation of hip hop which included james brown who used to dance to extended breakdowns of the beat for as long as 30 minutes in his shows. Some may say pigmeat markum is not a hip hop record but it has every element and the black spades who are the real founders of every element of hip hop culture said that is who they were copying when they would battle snap (rap) to music at block parties and just on the street corners in the neighborhood. block parties, toasting, sound systems, rapping, breakin, graffiti, and every other element of hip hop was created and influenced here in america by african americans not the carrribeans. U-roy and otherJamaican Artists and toasters said they got their music culture from our music and djs so how could they originate it. in fact, ska, rocksteady, and reggae music was directly inspired by african american music and culture, many of the early pioneers of rock steady which became reggae music said they were copying and inspired by african american music, and culture. FBA originated and created hip hop period. not kool herc or carribeans. . you should know this. herc did not create the extended breakbeat. so that is out. he didnt create the merry go round he just put a name to what he was copying. african americans created most of the worlds most popular music genras and subcultures. that is a fact. so stop with the imbiguety and if you are trying to truly get to the truth then tell the truth and stop leaving it open for interpretation. african americans created hip hop rap period rap literally goes all the way back to slavery in the usa. kool herc and other carribeans here contributed and participated like the rest of the pioneers. but they didnt start nothing accept maybe grandmaster flash with some of his techinlogical inventions and theories around turntabalism. but that is not the creation of turntabalism , deejaying or hip hop but an elevation. a contribution of one element of the art form. if Jamaicans were listening to African Americans djs (Deejays) and were inspired to copy it, they couldn't have done it first thus they didn't create it. dancehall which started in the late 70s was a speedup more rhythmic reggae inspired music form which was inspired by ska which was literally inspired by African American music and DJs. see how the ball goes around. you people at this point ( And I'm talking also to some of the people in your comments and just in general about these debates and responding to some of the statements you made in your videos), are down right disrespecting African Americans and their long and arduous creation of their culture. let me again explain it to ya. in my Jamaican accent. i love my Jamaican family but this gotta stop. The rhythmic rhyming of vocals of African American toasting (Jive Talking) influenced the development of toasting in Jamaica and development of the dancehall style In the late 1950s deejay toasting (In Jamaica) was developed by Count Matchuki. He conceived the idea from listening to disc jockeys on American radio stations. He would do African American jive over the music while selecting and playing R&B music. Deejays like Count Machuki working for producers would play the latest hits on traveling sound systems (African American inspired mobile Dj systems) at parties and add their toasts or vocals to the music. These toasts consisted of comedy, boastful commentaries, half-sung rhymes, rhythmic chants, squeals, screams and rhymed storytelling, which was inspired by African American minstral shows and stage shows (Of course they added their own flare making it their own style) but that's my point. Creativity comes from inspiration. They were inspired by African American Deejaying and Music Culture but they then made it their own. That's like how everything else is created Later in the 1960s toasting deejays included U-Roy and Dennis Alcapone, the latter known for mixing gangster talk with humor in his toasting. In the early 1970s, toasting deejays included I-Roy (his nickname is in homage to U-Roy) and Dillinger, the latter known for his humorous toasting style. In the early 1970s Big Youth became popular. In the late 1970s, Trinity followed all said they were inspired by and imulating African American music and culture with their own flair. This all comes back around full circle to African American Culture and music. Not saying we crated everything but out of shear necessity we created our own cultures and music as well as many other American Traditions. sometimes we get credit for it but in the broader scheme of things it is hidden from American society and thus hidden from the world as a form of oppression. This goes on a lot. We don't get the credit for our contributions to the world. and really it's by design. These historians know the truth about it but African Americans are discredited in place of other people. This has to stop. Go read a book on the inventions and innovations that African Americans have contributed to the world and you will literally be shocked beyond belief. how can you be the root of hip hop music when hip hop music is literally African American music. disco, r&b ,funk ,jazz, and anything else you wanna mix in there that we created. Herc already said it was alread bubbling up and he was inspired by other djs and what he was hearing and seeing. if he wasnt the first to juggle break beats didnt create the music that was inspiring it. He wasnt the first throwing parties in the park. wasnt the first throwing house partys. how could he have invented it. This is a stupid argument. he came over here and seen African Americans are lit. and got inspired like everyone else in the world. hes not the creator. one of the early pioneers yes. creator no. Herc literally does not even know how to dj. Look at what he is doing in his video explaining the merry go round technique which is just beat juggling and looping or extending the beat. It literally does not match up to how cross fading works. He is a huge fraud and liar. That is why you see no videos of him djing anywhere. And your telling me this guy created extended break beat juggling and looping and hip hop. This is blasphemy in its highest form. And literally the text book definition of cultural appropriation. And it is being blindly spread around the world stealing the real credit from the African American puoneers and creators.
