All downhill from there, so far as I’m concerned.
I remember Blondie had a rap-esque song in about 1977.
Something about eating cars and eating bars, or something.
“Rapture”?
Chuck Berry’s tune Too Much Monkey Business. Now that is good “rap”.
There was also “One Night in Bangkok” from the musical “Chess”.
,,,,, That’s true ,,, but every song they produced was not recorded in the same way . These wanna be’s do all their recordings in the rap lack of style way .
Most songs by The Inkspots had a narrated segment. And don’t forget this guy...
