Believe It Or Not

Cette fois si les amis j'ai choisi des chansons de rap d'artistes qui ne faisaient pas vraiment de musique rap. 

Tous datent des années 80, pour la plupart du début des années 80 et souvent dans un style très old school. Beaucoup viennent du milieu soul/funk (le voyage n'a pas été si loin), mais pas tous. Voulez-vous entendre Millie Jackson rapper ? Ou saviez vous qu'il existait une chanson rap de Leon Haywood, des Skool Boyz et de Pieces Of A Dream ? Écoutez et vous serez surpris. Il y a aussi un peu de comédie.
Alors vous également rentré dans la comédie, habillez vous avec les 3 bandes et chausser votre paire d'Harlem et puis laissez vous glisser par cette confiture.
Tracklist

Pieces Of A Dream - Mt. Airy Groove (1982)
Soul group from Philadelphia who released their first album in 1981. As of 2021, they have already released over 20 studio albums. "Mt. Airy Groove" is the only rap song.
Leon Haywood - Lover's Rap (1980)
Funk and soul singer, songwriter and record producer since the mid-60s with a whole series of albums and productions up until the 90s. "I Want'a Do Something Freaky To You" was later sampled by Dr. Dre. In 1980, however, he had already recorded a rap song himself. It remained at that one.
Ronnie Jones - Cosmo Rap (1980)
American singer, he has released a number of albums and singles since the mid-1960s. In the 1970s he became known primarily for his disco songs, which were recorded by the German producer Jürgen S. Korduletsch. This makes his only rap song, "Cosmo Rap", the first rap song I know of that was produced and recorded in Germany.
Mammatapee - Monster Fun (1980)
The American P-Funk band released two albums in the early 80s. Monster Fun is a production by Norman Whitfield and is actually a classic funk or P-Funk track. But suddenly it becomes a monster rap song with female rap vocals at its finest. Unfortunately, it is the only rap song.
Skool Boyz - Can We Do It Again (1980)
Skool Boyz released three first-class soul, funk and boogie albums in the first half of the 80s. You wouldn't expect there to be a rap song hidden among them. And yet there is. "Can We Do It Again" have fun with it.
Tony Joe White - Swamp Rap (1983)
American soft rock / country rock, blues singer, songwriter and guitarist has released countless albums and singles since 1969. In 1983 he tried his hand at a rap song "for fun". But you can still hear a little blues in it.Blondie - Rapture (1980)
This song by the American band Blondie should be familiar to everyone. It combines new wave, pop and funk and contains extensive rap passages in the second half. Grandmaster Flash certainly had a lot of fun sampling it.
Funk Masters - Rap Your Body Down (1988)
The Funk Masters were certainly one of the most progressive British bands of their time. They were often ahead of their time and released many singles between 1980 and 1988. Strangely, they never made an album. Their only rap song came out in 1988 and on this song in particular they sound like they were four years late in terms of rap style. But I think that's actually an advantage.
General Caine - NBA Rap (1980)
General Caine was an American funk band that recorded four albums between 1978 and 1983 and produced one rap song in 1980. It remained the only one and is not found on their albums, but only released as a single. There are more sports songs here.
Millie Jackson - I Had To Say It (1980)
The queen of soul music is characterized by long, humorous and explicitly spoken passages and has created a series of timeless soul classics. It's hard to believe, but Millie Jackson released a rap song on her 1980 album. Yes, Millie Jackson raps!! Really :) And she's obviously having a lot of fun doing it, as you can hear. And that's exactly how I felt when I heard the song again after a long time.
