The Oldest Rap Songs You Listen To?

I always listen Rapper's Delight while getting ready, 'cause its like 14 mins. That one is quite old I guess. And any 2pac song, I'm currently into Hit 'em up

It is literally the first hip-hop mainstream record ever.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) is probably the oldest album and songs I'm listening to. So just like my birthyear 1993

Alright, I got bored. I googled the Oldest Rap song, the one that started it all.
I came up with "Rappers Delight" by Sugarhill Gang (1979). The song didn't top any charts though.
I found "Rapture" by Blondie, which did top the charts, apparently becoming known as the first Rap song. I was just wondering if you guys could enlighten me on your take of the history of rap. And What are the oldest songs you listen to? Thanks ! Not sure if this could be in the Hip Hop or The Backstage section.

Sugarhill Gang is the original fake hip-hop group... if you want to go deep into Old School try Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five... then Melle Men & The Furious Five, Grandmaster Caz, Africa Bambaata, Cool Moe Dee & Kurtis Blow... those are the original GOAT rappers... the next wave goes with Run DMC, LL, Fat Boys etc. etc.

yeah the guy who rapped rappers delight didn't even change the lyrics from the guy he got it from and accidentally used his name
"check it out, i'm the c-a-s-an-the-o-v-a"

I know one song which started the whole culture of hip hop was Apache which Grandmaster Flash used to spin to. Duno which year but I think the mid 70s

I only go as back as mid/late 80s like Geto Boys, Beastie Boys and Run DMC then onwards tho.

The worse thing is this guy wasn't even a rapper but the manager/agent of the guy who wrote this - the one & only Grandmaster Caz A.K.A. Casanova Fly (truly one of the original GOAT rappers & inspiration for many after him)... the agent didn't steal the lyrics though, they were given to him but he had to return the favor which he never did. The whole group wasn't a hip-hop clique or whatever but random dudes that were collected & put together like a Boy Band by a label executuve. That's why nobody from the Old School respects that song or the group overall.

I still spin Illmatic occasionally too.

None are all that old but they are the oldest rap songs that I still listen to.
