This is the song that introduced Rap to the world!
I will never forgive them.
@@Muckylittleme ha ha ha
@@rockinron3215 Rap is just cadence, been going on for centuries in music. As for the industry. the first actual Hip Hop album released was the Sugar Hill Gang in 1981, one week before Rapture was released. Blondie refused to preform it on SNL unless they included The Funky 4+1. It's the first time the nation was introduced to the underground NY hip hop scene. It had been there on playgrounds and in underground clubs already, for years. Easily 1968, if not even before that.
In the late fifties in Philly we had 'Coffee Houses' (no, not Starbucks, small clubs). Before Hippies we had Beatniks. They'd recite their poetry to live jazz background music and much of it sounded like Rap. There was no name for it then other than poesy. @@bettyrose959
Ain't that the truth😊
Debbie Harry and Chris Stein had got to know Fab Five Freddy who took them to Harlem where they experienced the rap battles that were happening at the time. Inspired they wrote Rapture and mixed rap with the their downtown new wave sensibilities. This was the first taste of rap for most Americans and was the first rap record to have music specially writen for it, before people were using samples and rapping over the top.. An interesting fact about the video: Freddie Braithwaite is name checked in the song and was supposed to play the DJ, but didn't turn up so they got Jean Michele Basquit to step in. Debbie was the first person to ever pay Basquit for a piece of art.
Bet she still has the Basquit ❤️
I'll give her my biscuit, know what I'm saying 😉
Entire RAP section done in one take, one "Boom" camera. Cool.
I noticed that too. It must have taken ages to rehearse with all that's going on.
Brilliant!
Rap was such a new thing at the time and not popular yet. As a 8 year old at the time I had no idea what she was doing. Blondie uses it perfectly in a radio hit song, exposing millions to 80's rap.
It was all just great music! Except country. Country sucks lol. Actually even the crossover country in the 70s and 80s was awesome.
“Rapture” was the first number-one single in the United States to feature rap vocals. Saw Deborah Harry with a new Blondie lineup of radical youngsters at Cruel World last year. She sounded great and the band was loving it, like Iggy and his crew this year.
If there's a hip hop hall of fame, Blondie deserves to be in it if only for the fact that it mainstreamed rap and brought it to an audience that otherwise wouldn't have been exposed to it.
1980 release....early Rap sampling.....First #1 single in US to feature Rap! Fab 5 Freddie shows up
No. 1 in the UK too.
I did not even know it was "Rap" back in the day - But I had it on vinyl. Debera Harry is like a bad girl Julie Andrews to me. So pretty. What a talent. She was on The Muppet Show, the Muppet's adored her like she was a queen. Because she was.
Sang Rainbow Connection with Kermit.
@@acampbell8614 - Was that not just wonderful? - For any who are curious..

This song plus "Rapper's Delight" by The Sugar Hill Gang and "Rock Lobster" by The B-52s were the first songs I danced to at the first "dance" I ever went to at 12. These songs locked me in to becoming a club kid later on in the Pariah scene, Underground scene, House scene, Rave scene, etc...Gateway Songs!
This was the first song with rapping to crossover and hit #1 on the Billboard charts in 1980 as song of the year...a few months later the first early African American Rappers started charting after Blondie made it popular on primarily White radio stations
first rap song to reach number one on the charts
One of the best songs at the roller rink! ❤
This song and Rapper’s Delight by the Sugarhill Gang were so popular. Everyone sung along.
Debbie set the table for a lot of the music to come. Dylan was the first and best Rapper, but Debbie showed how to throw Bars together back in 1980. Another popular music video of the day, as all Blondie videos were as HOT as she was.
Dylan's song, "Subterranean Homesick Blues", was influenced by Chuck Berry's "Too Much Monkey Business" and "Maybelline".
Kinda like the way Bing Crosby invented jazz, right?
One of two number one hits ("The Tide is High" is the other) from the platinum "Autoamerican" album. The 1980 effort's diverse stylistic highlights include "Live it Up", "Angels on the Balcony", "Go Through It", "Do the Dark", and "T-Birds".
I can't tell you how obsessed we were when this song hit the radio. We had never heard anything like it
My all time favorite Blondie song ❤
I remember when this debuted, it was so weird, but catchy as hell! MTV played the crap out of this.
"Rapture"
Toe to toe
Dancing very close
Barely breathing
Almost comatose
Wall to wall
People hypnotized
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in rapture
Back to back
Sacroiliac
Spineless movement
And a wild attack
Face to face
Sightless solitude
And it's finger popping
Twenty-four hour shopping in rapture
Fab Five Freddy told me everybody's fly
DJ spinnin' I said, "My my"
Flash is fast, Flash is cool
François c'est pas, Flash ain't no dude
And you don't stop, sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and it lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercurys and Subaru
And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
Then, when there's no more cars you go out at night
And eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face, dance cheek to cheek
One to one, man to man
Dance toe to toe, don't move too slow
'Cause the man from Mars is through with cars
He's eatin' bars, yeah wall to wall
Door to door, hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture, be pure
Take a tour through the sewer
Don't strain your brain, paint a train
You'll be singin' in the rain
Said don't stop to punk rock
Well now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on TV
'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars where the TV's on
Now he's gone back up to space
Where he won't have a hassle with the human race
And you hip-hop, and you don't stop
Just blast off, sure shot
'Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars
And now he only eats guitars, get up

Thanks, JM! yep - this was pretty early "rap" from Debbie & crew... certainly not "stream-of-consciousness" but scripted - still - pretty cool for the day! lol
The guy was grandmaster flash, and he was the guy that wrote the song with her!
Bob Dylan's son Jakob won 2 Grammy's with this song in 1998.... The Wallflowers - One Headlight (Official Music Video)
sorry, what's the connection?
When Debbie started the rap section, the guy she was rapping to is mega artist Jean Michelle Basquiat. Recently, Blondie performed at Coachella and ended up being one of the best acts.
Brought what was happening in NY to a wider audience. Of course Kool Herc, Grandmaster, and sugarhill gang were there first.
Number 1 in UK - opened a door ❤👍🏽👍☘️
I bet you were surprised to hear her rapping and guess what she still performs this song and sounds great
1 of the 1st rap songs
ding ding ding thats why it called RAPture thanks to hip hop pioneer Fab5 Freddy he wrote that rap lyricks
Yep Debbie Harry is not rapping anymore. She is 78 y/o now but I liked her, she was a great singer and she was original.
Yeah she JUST played Glastonbury ~2 weeks ago (there is video) in her CBGB t-shirt😁 (I still have 2) her voice is weak-ish but kudos for being out there😉
I saw Blondie probably 3 times over the decades including VERY early (I lived in EVillage ‘77-‘81) and saw her a couple times with the excellent Jazz Passengers 🥰
@@dcg4mn Wow that's cool. I knew her in the time of Rapture, Heart of glass, I was in my 20's but I have no memory of her movies career.
Yes - Wonderous Stories (Official Music Video)
"Atomic" is another great Blondie track.
This was the first Rap song. 🎉🎉 ❤❤
No, it was just the first rap song that let everyone know that it was an actual music genre. Rap music started in the early 70's in New York, but it wasn't taken seriously as a music genre. And to be honest they never really lost that stigma. A lot of ignorant people still want to distort the definition of what makes music, anything they can do to discredit it as a true music genre.
BACK TO BACK,
SACROILIAC
This was my favorite song back in the day.
I remember when video came out and thought it premiered on MTV, I remember show in general called "Solid Gold". Well web says it premiered on Solid Gold early 1981. IMO Debbie Harry is said to be into "avant-garde" art and music, so she brought an avante-garde approach to this rap.
Never noticed before but it says RAP on the wall behind Deborah Harry
Re Blondie rapping, in the early days of rap lots of artists were experimenting with this "new" and "urban" form. You'll find lots of unexpected raps from songs in the late 70s and early 80s.
catchy tune
First Rap song ever to top the charts.
First hit crossover
Round About / Yes - Live
The song is called RAP-ture after all so.....
She brought Rap to the mainstream way before anyone knew what it was
Not only the introduction of RAP to the rest of the world but also the most beautiful women that ever existed... Just my opinion.. But I think I am right!
They were a punk band, and had a huge hit with this.
Check out "Dreaming"! He drumming.
In many countries in europe the first #1 rap song was rapper's delight which did not top the pop chart in the states maybe because of adult lyrics which were not understandable in not english spoken countries
I never liked em back then myself. I was into the doors hendrix etc. Love her now im old lol.
She made French sound so damn sexy
Some consider this to be the first rap song recorded
Bondie was the 1st rapper ever.
I like that you don't interrupt the song
Did anyone ever find out who the coolest guy on the planet (White suit man) was ?
Deborah Harry was cool as fuck.. Even as an 8 year old I somehow knew that. :)
Atomic, by Blondie.
Blondie primed white folks for the rap invasion of the 80’s ✌️💜🤘
☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥
Eat Cadillacs and Lincolns, too
Ain't Marylin Monroe, damn.
👍👍👍👍👍
The name of the song is a play on words RAP-ture.😂
the clue is there RAPture
👍
Yes - I've Seen All Good People
Rapping started as an off-shoot of disco.
❤❤❤
Lol
Hey bro....❤
Lol…
Guy, any singer can “rap”. It’s just talking in rhythm - the verbal portion of what they’ve already mastered.
It’s only a surprise when a “rapper” can sing. That’s adding entire ancient disciplines they’ve usually never bothered to learn.
Great song though.
Yeah she rocks and vibes and i dunno.
Blondie invented rap. or she was the first to do a rap song.
Is it just me who finds that rap a little embarrassing.
I grew up with Blondie 💙
She was the inventor of Rap. Why dp ypu think it's called RAP???????
Probably the world's first mainstream RAP SONG...and done by a white chick named Debbie no less.
👍👍👍👍
