I got a lotta shit to say , but until I promote this blog properly,and get some traffic I will prolly post once a week - Monday or Tuesday. Everybody hopped on the rap bandwagon not too long after Rappers Delight. I mean even Rodney Dangerfield and Mel Brooks had rap records! Teena Marie and Stevie Wonder dabbled with the mic device in the early 80s as well,but 2 joints by R&B legends never got air play.
Both of these jams dropped right after Rappers Delight. The first one is by the legendary Johnny Guitar Watson , and it's called Telephone Bill. He flows damn well for a singer/guitarist. He has a real smoove conversational style , and even rocks some multi syllabllic shit on here. Good shit from 1980.
The second one is by the great Mr Marvin Gaye. Again - I miss this cat......however he had this song called Ego Trippin' that Motown released as a 12" in 1979 , but it was pulled due to lack of sales. This one isnt as funky as Johnny's , but it is Marvin Gaye rappin' in 1979. Also these streams dont start automatically you have to click the play button....Peace...
