Ok. I think this is a cool idea. Each week I'm going to post a video. It will either be a live/television performance, or a music video from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, or early 00's ( the 00's will extend up and through 2005). Leave comments and have fun! :)

"Rapper's Delight" (1979)

The song played an important role with introducing rap into a mainstream audience. Many people mistake this as the beginning of rap/hip hop, but it was going on long before this record came out. "Rapper's Delight" just helped to surge it into the charts.

Now see I like that rapping because the rapper is nicely dressed and is pleasant. This was before that sickening gangsta subculture took over all of rap & urban. Plus, the music track here is Chic's great "Good Times," produced & arranged by Nile Rogers, who considered producing "Tango in the Night" before he decided that Fleetwood Mac was just too whitebread.

Viv, why are you posting photos of bonethugz in your sig? I hope you're not a proponent of lawlessness & thuggery.
