The Oldest Rap Songs You Listen To?

by **IBasicallyRage** » Jun 10th, '13, 22:55

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.

You're welcome... I use to listen a lot of Old School at some point... it's kinda incredible & gets you back from the beginning of it all. It's way more simple & different though... don't compare it to the rap music today though 'cuz those records came in totally different world.

The so called Golden Era in hip-hop which comes like the third wave kinda is gonna blow you away though... Big Daddy Kane & the whole Juice Crew, Eric B & Rakim, Chuck D & Public Enemy, KRS & Boogie Down etc. etc. :worship:

The oldest song I listen to regularly is not that old.

1997: God's Bathroom Floor

Then probably the SSLP.
