Blondie was very much into the NYC art scene in the 80s. The song is about the underground dance clubs they would go to where rap was born. "Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's fly" - Fab Five Freddy is considered the "Father of Street Art" 4:55 That's Fab Five Freddy painting the word "RaP". Freddy was good friends with - "DJ spinnin' I said, 'My My' Flash is fast, Flash is cool" - Grandmaster Flash.

Love this song! The groove is so funky, and it's an early homage to Brooklyn's then mostly unknown hip hop scene. The video is full of references to the genre's Caribbean roots and cultural touchstones like street art. I'd also recommend Blondie's "Call Me" for a whole other side of the band.

New wave music brought us some truly amazing female vocalists all at once. The 80s were a great time.

This one is in our history books. Rap had been around as an underground genre, but Blondie's 'Rapture' brought Rap into mainstream attention for the first time. Blondie has a great music catalogue to explore. They were pioneers that mixed a variety of genres including new wave, punk, rock, pop rock, disco, & funk. Here is a very short list of song recommendations: "One Way or Another" "The Hardest Part" "Dreaming" "Call Me" "Atomic" "The Tide Is High" "Union City Blue" "Die Young, Stay Pretty" "Detroit 442" "Hanging on the Telephone" "11:59"

There's a lot to be said about the origins of rap surrounding this song - man, Deborah Harry in that New York scene in the mid-to-late seventies. This was a tip of the hat to that scene, and it's so fun. I love the way you analyze her voice, and if you haven't already, I would give a close listen or react to her huge hit call me. The things that she's doing with her voice in that, some of them quite subtle, are just so cool. Shows a lot of strength but then the ability to go airy, and she really twists certain things into a slang kind of delivery that is just so cool.

I think her best vocal is on "Picture This." They have a ton of huge hits. "Dreaming" is my favorite, but "Hanging on the Telephone," "One Way or Another" and "Call Me" were also giant rock hits. There's also "Union City Blue," "Sunday Girl," "The Tide is High"...

Lastly, and most importantly, these facts led Blondie and RAPTURE to be featured in the Rap Hall of Fame and The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

His final walk through Times Square finds him in present day…but still able to see the spirits of those that impacted his life and memories… Quite beautiful… I hope you check it out!

On February 14, 1981, The Funky 4 Plus One made history when they performed "That's The Joint" on NBC's Saturday Night Live. She was a huge contributor to the rap industry and it's rise.

Same place that brought out the Beastie Boys. Also a punk band that rapped. I guess people don't understand the history of the music industry and how much control they hold on what people listen to.

Most physical wounds heal over time but the mental aspect of seeing real f****d up s**t happen during the war first hand. The horrific things that happen either seeing it or being put in a situation where you don't have a choice,it's either kill or be killed! most people will say its an obvious choice! But for most people actually don't think or know & understand that what "a soldier " goes through during war & any given combat situation!
