The article also states that rap is 30 years old? I didn't know rap was around in 1977.

I couldn't believe it either. But then, I think "Rapture" by Blondie was arguably the first rap song.

I thought this crap would die out after a few years. I guess I was wrong.

The first rap song came out in 1970. A piece called "the revolution will not be televised" by Gil Scott-Heron.
