'Magnificent Seven': Great song, but it's not really rap. More like they're half-chanting, half-singing. Anyways, there were white and black groups rapping way before either The Clash or Blondie. Blondie just introduced it to the masses.
Their video for 'Rapture' shows Debbie Harry introducing the music as 'rapping', and explaining a bit behind the technique. I remember thinking, "Yeah -- that's never going to catch on". Wrongo. Great video. Anyone know who the dude in white hat and tails was?
