I've been thinking this to myself, mainly because I realize that some people think that "Rappers Delight" was the first rap song ever. Only rapper I know of that was around before Rappers Delight was that Prince Whipper Whip dude who appeared on the Beatnuts album. Who were some other rappers that were around pre-Rappers Delight?
-
Funk band Fatback recorded the first Hip-Hop song ever, King Tim III.
-
people were 'rapping' in songs as far back as the 60's in blues music.
-
Fred and Barney used to get down at the Moose's Lodge :D
-
I heard that one of Bob Dylan's songs could actually be considered the 1st rap song...
-
John Lennon's "I Am The Walrus" sounds a whole hellova lot like rap to me. "Tommorow Never Knows" had samples and drum loops in it, too, and all that shit was mid 60's. John even dissed Paul McCartney in the early 70's on the Imagine album, a song called "How Do You Sleep?"... so I'd consider John Lennon the first rapper ever.

It's called Subterranean Homesick Blues and it's pretty much a rap. I am a Walrus isn't really rapping. Lennon might be using elements that are present in hip hop, but he isn't rapping much. Dylan raps the whole song.
Rapper's Delight defiantely isn't the first rap song. Walk This Way came out way before.

There isn't any rapping on the Aerosmith original.

It's the exact same song, word for word. To say Steven Tyler isn't rapping is being in denial. In my opinion he raps much better.
